Its CloudTec® sole and Helion™ superfoam provide a 'whisper with every step,' making them ideal for urban running, daily commutes, and long walks where cushioning is paramount.

Their lightweight design makes them an excellent companion for travel, minimizing bulk while offering maximum comfort.
Getting Started (Setup)
Lacing: Utilize the traditional lace-up system to secure your foot. Ensure a snug fit without being too tight, allowing for natural foot expansion during activity.
Break-In Period: While generally comfortable from the start, allow a few short walks or runs for your feet to fully adapt to the unique CloudTec® cushioning and rockered geometry.
Compatibility
Activity Type: Ideal for road running, urban walking, daily wear, and light training activities. They perform best on paved surfaces and are less suited for rugged trail running.
Foot Type: Designed to offer a supportive, adaptive fit for a wide range of foot types. The responsive cushioning benefits neutral runners, while the stable platform can provide some support for mild overpronation.
Care Instructions
Cleaning: For routine cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap (like dish soap diluted in water) and a soft brush or cloth to clean the mesh upper and midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Washing Machine: It is generally not recommended to machine wash your trainers as it can damage the cushioning, glues, and upper materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with newspaper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out after use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to help absorb odors.
