• FlexCore Midsole: Midsole is precisely tuned to give you flexibility and mobility when training, and comfort for all-day wear.
• TrueFlex Upper: Haptic overlays provide additional upper protection from friction and are built to also move with the foot to keep the Catalyst feeling light, as if it's an extension of the foot.
• FlexFrame Lacing System: Strategic loop laces paired with traditional eyelets provide you with a LockedIn, glove-like fit.
• No Slide Tongue: The Catalyst's tongue is designed to promote the perfect amount of security without moving.
• Suede Boot: We built the suede and padded boot to maintain its shape, so it doesn't collapse easily when stepping in.
• Wide Toe Box: Wide and anatomical toe box to promote toe splay to optimize your foot's surface area when training, walking, and running.
• Two Shoe Laces: Every colorway has two shoe laces that complement each other.
• 2.5mm Foam Insole: Insole is built so that it doesn't slide. The bottom of the insole features strategic, low-profile raised Xs to promote better insole grip when moving explosively.

In simplest terms, the Catalyst should fit relatively true to size compared to your traditional training shoes.

I'd size these similarly to what you currently wear.

Ladies, I know I only have half-sizes for you at the moment. If you're a 6, go 6.5 — 7, go 7.5, etc. That should be a safe call for most. It's also better to have a little more room than a shoe that's way too short.

Are You a Half-Size?

If you're in between sizes, size up. These don't run small, but it's better to have more room than less. Plus, the feet will adapt to the environment they're put in.

Pretty much all buyers who are a half-size who've gone up have been happy with how the shoes fit.

Magic erasers work wonders. You can also spot clean your shoes. DO NOT put them into the washer and dryer. If you do this, then any hope of a return due to material issues will be completely voided.

How To Spot Clean

1. Grab a washcloth, a soft soap (preferably non-scented and clear), and some lukewarm water.
2. Get the washcloth damp and use a LIGHT amount of soap, then scrub areas that need a little tender love and care.
3. To dry, remove the insoles and place your shoes in a dry area in your home.

PRO TIP: With these, and all of your workout shoes, really, I'd let these bad boys air out post gym, AKA try not to leave them in a damp, humid gym bag. This will keep the materials tighter and prevent any premature durability issues.

All returns will be subject to an $8 return label fee. Exchanges are free.

Additionally, if you buy two sizes to see which fits best and end up keeping one, your return label fee will be waived.

I do apologize for the return label fee, but with the rising prices of fuel, shipping labels are getting increasingly more expensive, especially for small businesses. This is necessary to keep my shipping fees down when getting shoes to you.
