Frequently asked questions

How do I choose running shoes?
Consider your terrain (road or trail), your stride type (neutral or overpronation), the cushioning level you want and your foot shape. The most reliable approach is a fitting at a specialty store, with advice from our team.
What's the difference between road and trail shoes?
Road shoes prioritize cushioning and a smooth ride on asphalt. Trail shoes add lugs for grip, protection against rocks and roots, and a more stable platform on uneven terrain.
How long does a pair of running shoes last?
Generally 500 to 800 km depending on the model, your weight and your stride. Carbon plate shoes and ultralight foams wear faster. Watch for foam packing out and outsole wear.
How do I clean and care for my running shoes?
Remove the insoles and laces, brush off mud once dry, then hand wash in cold water with a mild soap — never in the washer or dryer, which damage the foams and adhesives. Air dry, stuffed with newspaper, away from direct heat.
Should I have more than one pair of shoes?
For regular runners, rotating two pairs (for example a daily trainer and a faster shoe) extends the life of each, varies the stress on your body and can reduce injury risk.
How do I know if I have a neutral stride or overpronate?
Signs of overpronation: marked wear on the inner edge of your soles, ankle or knee fatigue. If in doubt, drop by the store and our team will help you figure it out.
Can you help me choose in store?
Yes. At our Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures store, our team takes the time to understand your needs, terrain and goals, and has you try several models to find the right pair.
