Things You Might Like To Know

If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for in our FAQs, don’t worry—we’re here to help. Whether you have questions about sizing, fabrics, shipping, or anything else, feel free to reach out to our team. Your satisfaction is our top priority.

What are the best trainers for running and walking?

Cushioned neutral running shoes work well for both. Popular choices include the Hoka Clifton and Bondi, the Brooks Ghost and the ASICS Gel-Nimbus.

What’s the difference between trail running shoes and road running shoes?

This is a very common question. Trail shoes are built for off-road surfaces, while road shoes are designed for pavements and tarmac.

Is a Carbon Plated trainer for me?

You don’t need to be an elite athlete — but here’s how to tell if it’s the right time:

You run regularly – If you’re logging several miles a week and care about improving performance or reducing recovery time, you’ll benefit.

You’ve done a race or plan to – The Endorphin Pro is ideal for race day or faster training sessions — whether that’s a local 10K or your first half marathon

You want to feel lighter, quicker, and fresher – The carbon plate and responsive foam take pressure off your legs, especially over long distances.

You’ve worn neutral or performance shoes before – If you’re already running in shoes like the Saucony Ride or Kinvara, this is a natural next step.


Who It’s Not For:


You’re brand new to running and still building mileage — start with something like the Ride or Guide for a stable base.

You’re mainly walking or cross-training — the Endorphin Pro is over-engineered for casual wear.

You need more structure or pronation control — look to Saucony’s supportive models instead

How long should my trainers last?

This depends on your usage! Trainers tend to last around 300–500 miles, depending on how often and how hard you use them. For regular day-to-day wear, many people find they hold up really well and stay supportive for months.

Is a UK size 7 a 40 or 41?
