FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Kukini is designed for athletic movement and gym training, it is primarily categorized as a trainer. It provides stability, but individual running requirements may vary.
How do I determine if these are the right size for me?
This model is listed as a UK size 10, which corresponds to an EU 44. We recommend comparing these measurements against your current well-fitting athletic footwear.
Can I replace the insoles?
The Air Kukini is designed with a specific internal construction. Removing the insoles may compromise the intended comfort and fit of the trainer.
What is the purpose of the plastic cage?
The plastic cage acts as an exoskeleton, providing essential lateral support and structural stability to the midfoot during side-to-side movements.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of the trainers to prevent deformation of the plastic cage.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight around the midfoot
The shoe is designed to be snug; ensure you are wearing thin performance socks to allow the neoprene-like fabric to conform properly.
Difficulty slipping the shoe on
Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully back to distribute tension evenly across the upper fabric before sliding your foot in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Air Kukini features a slip-on design, ensure you select your correct size (UK 10) for the most secure fit. To maintain the integrity of the trainer, avoid exposing the plastic midfoot cage to extreme heat, as this can cause warping or stress fractures. For cleaning, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water to wipe down the rubber outsole and the plastic cage. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the elasticity of the neoprene-like fabric and the bonding agents used in the shoe's construction. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
