FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Galaxy 8 is designed for general athletic training and daily wear. While comfortable for jogging and treadmill work, serious marathon runners might prefer specialized long-distance models.
How do I clean the white portions of the shoe?
Use a soft brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent to scrub the white areas, then pat dry with a clean cloth.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thicker athletic socks, some users find a half-size up is more comfortable.
Can I remove the insoles?
The insoles are designed to be integrated with the cushioning system, so it is recommended to keep them in place for optimal support.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The materials are breathable and athletic-focused, meaning they are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long wear
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly across the midfoot and check that you are wearing moisture-wicking socks to prevent friction.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for embedded stones or debris and clean the bottom of the shoe with a brush and warm water to restore grip.
Tongue sliding to the side
Utilize the center lace loop on the tongue to anchor it in place through the laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the best fit out of your Galaxy 8 trainers involves adjusting the laces to your foot shape before your first wear to ensure the padded tongue sits flat. For compatibility, these are standard athletic trainers intended for use on road, gym, or indoor surfaces. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing as this can damage the cushioning materials. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the TPU and midsole materials.
