FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

They are designed for general fitness and shorter runs. While comfortable, they may not offer the advanced support required for long-distance marathons.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the Cloudfoam and the adhesive components of the sole.

Is the sole non-marking?

The synthetic outsole is designed for standard street use and provides excellent grip on pavement.

Does the shoe provide arch support?

The shoe features a standard, neutral footbed design. If you require specific orthotics, the internal space is generally flexible enough to accommodate them.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

The textile upper is breathable and will allow water to pass through; these are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of sliding inside the shoe

Adjust the laces to tighten the midfoot lockdown or consider a runner's loop lacing technique.

Accumulation of dust on the upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift and remove loose dirt from the textile mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Galaxy 8 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Sizing: These shoes are built with a standard fit. Ensure you select your true-to-size UK measurement for the best experience.
  • Lacing: Utilize the lace system to find your preferred tension. For running, ensure a snug fit around the midfoot, while a slightly looser fit may be preferred for casual walking.
  • Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove the laces and wash them separately. Avoid soaking the shoes in water or putting them in a dryer, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic materials and midsole foam.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or fading of the purple aesthetic.
