FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Cloudfoam cushioning is designed for distance running and provides ample comfort and support for marathon training.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the primary sport these shoes are designed for?
These shoes are primarily designed for running, particularly for distance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure the heel doesn't slip and there's no pinching or rubbing.
What is the benefit of the TPU outsole?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) outsole provides enhanced stability and durability, offering a reliable grip on various running surfaces.
Are these trainers good for cross-training activities?
While comfortable for general wear, these trainers are optimized for running. For activities requiring significant lateral support, dedicated cross-training shoes are recommended.
What material are the uppers made of?
The uppers are made of 80% textile and 20% polyester, designed to offer a balance of breathability and support.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes with shorter runs before attempting long distances. Check for any seams or debris inside the shoe.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
Cloudfoam cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant loss of cushioning is experienced after a prolonged period of regular running.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The TPU outsole provides good grip, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions and consider shoes with specialized wet-traction outsoles if this is a frequent concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. Adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit before your first run.
Compatibility: The Galaxy 7 trainers are designed for running on various surfaces. They are compatible with standard running socks. While they offer some versatility, they are best suited for their intended sport and may not be ideal for intense gym workouts or sports requiring lateral support.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
