Can I use these for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use and are not recommended for long-distance or high-intensity running.

Can I replace the insole?

Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white midsole detailing
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mixture with a soft-bristled brush, taking care to avoid soaking the fabric areas.
Feeling of stiffness during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors for the first few days to allow the materials and cushioning pods to adapt to your foot's natural shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, it is recommended to loosen the laces fully when putting them on to avoid damaging the heel counter. These shoes are compatible with standard aftermarket orthotics if additional arch support is required. For maintenance, keep the upper clean by wiping down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the cushioning pods and the bonding materials used in the split outsole. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
