FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
They are ideal for light, daily road runs, but for marathon-level distances, you may prefer a shoe with more specialized stability features.
Can I use these for weightlifting?
While they are comfortable for general gym use, their cushioned sole may feel less stable for heavy compound lifts like squats; consider a flatter sole for those specific exercises.
How do I determine my size?
The Galaxy 8 features a regular fit; we recommend choosing your standard UK athletic shoe size.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the upper is designed for breathability and will not repel water effectively in heavy rain.
What is the primary material used in the sole?
The sole is made from a durable synthetic compound designed specifically for traction on asphalt and concrete.
Does the insole come out?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which is helpful if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels too tight around the bridge of the foot
Try re-lacing the shoes using a 'window' lacing technique to relieve pressure on the top of the midfoot.
The trainers are slippery on wet surfaces
While the synthetic outsole provides grip on standard road surfaces, avoid using them on polished gym floors or exceptionally slick, oily surfaces.
Cloudfoam cushioning feels less responsive over time
Ensure the shoes have at least 24 hours of rest between intense sessions to allow the foam to decompress fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Galaxy 8 trainers, start by adjusting the lace tension to match your foot's arch profile, ensuring the tongue remains centered for a pressure-free fit. For care, avoid machine washing your trainers, as it can damage the cushioning materials. Instead, wipe the upper and outsole with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the synthetic materials and foam.
