FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
The GALAXY 8 is designed for versatile use, including light running and daily wear. While comfortable, they may not offer the specialized support required for intense long-distance marathon training.
Can I use these for hiking?
No, these trainers are specifically engineered for road surfaces and lack the grip or protective features necessary for hiking on uneven or rugged terrain.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The GALAXY 8 features a regular fit. We recommend ensuring there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Is the sockliner removable?
Yes, the textile sockliner can be removed for cleaning or if you need to insert your own custom orthotic insoles.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running trainers should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on the intensity of use and the surface you run on.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets moving upwards to create a tighter lockdown on the midfoot.
Material feels slightly stiff out of the box
The textile upper will naturally soften after the first few uses. Try wearing them for short periods to break in the materials.
Visible dirt on the white outsole
Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and gently scrub the synthetic surface, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your GALAXY 8 trainers is straightforward: simply use the traditional lace system to adjust the tension across the midfoot to your personal preference. For compatibility, these shoes are strictly designed for road running and urban walking surfaces. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, spot-clean the upper with a soft brush and mild soap. If the shoes become wet, remove the sockliner and let them air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid exposing them to direct high-heat sources like radiators, as this may compromise the foam integrity and synthetic materials.
