FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy distance running?
The Galaxy 8 is optimized for daily activities and light exercise. For high-intensity distance running, we recommend specialized models with advanced energy-return technology.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can compromise the adhesive and structural integrity of the trainers. Spot clean with a damp cloth instead.
How do I determine if 8.5 UK is the right fit?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Galaxy 8 is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles to maintain the upper material.
What surfaces are these best for?
They are ideal for flat, hard surfaces such as pavement, gym floors, and indoor tracks.
Troubleshooting
Inner heel discomfort or rubbing
Ensure your laces are properly adjusted to lock the heel in place and wear moisture-wicking athletic socks.
Outer sole picking up debris
Use a specialized rubber sole brush or a stiff-bristled plastic brush to remove rocks or trapped particles from the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Galaxy 8 trainers last, proper care is essential. Upon first wear, ensure you have the correct UK 8.5 sizing by wearing the type of socks you intend to use most often. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the bonding materials and cushioning foams. Allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and material integrity.
