FAQ

  • What size do i need?
    Ulysses Running Shoes are born following the USM (United States Men (sizing Chart). Our size mark and box sticker represent the measurement for MEN and WOMEN. If you're unsure which size you wear in our footwear or apparel, each product page has a size chart and fit recommendation. On all our Models models, our standard recommendation is half size bigger than your everyday shoe size. The size mark and stickers are also representing the length in millimeters, so you can also measure your foot by standing barefoot with your heel against a wall, and then adding about 5 mm to your measured size for an indication of what size will work for you.
  • How long will a pair of Ulysses Running usually last?
    It depends on many factors, such as running style, weight, and the surface you run on. But generally, running shoes (not just Ulysses shoes) last up to 250-300 miles (approx. 402-482 km) depending on the model and materials used. For example, some of our styles, such as the MAIKOH, are designed for high-performance trail running, so naturally, their sole is not as hard as the one used on the HONI, so they won't have the same durability of them.

  • Are your shoes machine washable?
    Ulysses Running Shoes are engineered and designed using the best material to deliver long lasting performances. We suggest not to machine wash you shoes because it might be convenient, but the high temperature and the continuous tumbling is the hardest process on all materials. With a little TLC your shoes will last a long time! We suggest you: Remove the shoelaces and the insoles, and clean and dry them separately Brush the bottom of your shoes to remove as much mud and dirt as possible. Gently use a damp cloth or brush to clean the uppers. Rinse with warm water. To better maintain shape stuff your shoes with newspaper. This helps them maintain shape and decreases drying time. If you really have machine wash your shoes please remember the high temperature is the biggest enemy here so: Remove the shoelaces Remove the sock liner (not a requirement) Place the shoes + laces in the washing machine Add a very small amount of laundry detergent Wash using cold water Air dry away from direct sunlight Run WILD!
