Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

Troubleshooting
Traction seems poor
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris or mud. Worn-out tread may indicate the need for replacement.
Cushioning feels less effective over time
The midsole cushioning may naturally compress with extended use. Consider rotating with other footwear or using supportive insoles.
Color bleeding or fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Follow the recommended spot-cleaning method.
