FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper offers some flexibility, but the fit is generally snug. If you have notably wide feet, it is recommended to try them on or consider sizing up.
How do I clean the Boost midsole?
The Boost midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain its integrity.
What is the main benefit of the Boost technology?
Boost technology provides exceptional energy return and cushioning, offering a responsive and comfortable feel with every step.
Can these trainers be worn in the rain?
The Primeknit upper is not waterproof and may absorb moisture. While suitable for light rain, they are not ideal for prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What is the Continental rubber outsole for?
The Continental rubber outsole is a high-performance material that offers superior grip and durability, similar to tires used in the automotive industry.
How does the Tailored Fiber Placement differ from a standard upper?
Tailored Fiber Placement offers targeted support and a more secure lockdown in specific areas of the foot, enhancing stability compared to a uniformly constructed upper.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
The Primeknit upper is designed to be snug. If it feels uncomfortably tight, consider wearing thinner socks or trying a half-size up. Ensure laces are not tied excessively tight.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While Boost cushioning is durable, consistent heavy use can eventually lead to a slight decrease in responsiveness. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after extensive wear (typically 300-500 miles for running).
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The Continental rubber outsole provides excellent grip, but performance can still be affected by very wet or slippery conditions. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is free of debris.
