FAQs

Do these shoes run true to size?

No, the Norda 001A "Cinder" trainers are known to run small. It is recommended to purchase a half size larger than your usual shoe size.

What is Bio-Dyneema and why is it used?

Bio-Dyneema is a high-performance fiber derived from sustainable sources. It is used in the upper for its exceptional strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to abrasion, offering maximum durability with a reduced environmental impact.

How does the Vibram® MegaGrip outsole perform?

Vibram® MegaGrip is a high-performance rubber compound that provides exceptional grip on both dry and wet surfaces, making it ideal for challenging trail conditions.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?

While they feature a retro style, their primary design is for trail running and outdoor activities. Their robust construction and specialized sole provide excellent performance for their intended use.

What is the drop and stack height of the Norda 001A?

The Norda 001A has a heel-to-toe drop of 5mm. The stack height is 26mm in the heel and 21mm in the forefoot.

How do I clean the Bio-Dyneema upper effectively?

Clean the Bio-Dyneema upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the material's integrity.

What does 'Hi-Vis Reflective' mean for these shoes?

It means the shoes have reflective elements incorporated from the front to the rear, enhancing your visibility to others in low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or night runs.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or small.

As noted, the Norda 001A runs small. If you are experiencing tightness, consider exchanging for a half-size larger pair. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

While Vibram® MegaGrip offers excellent traction, extremely wet and slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris that could impede grip. If performance degradation is significant, check the outsole for wear.

Feet feel damp after a run.

Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks. The Arnitel® finish helps manage moisture, but it works best in conjunction with appropriate footwear. Check that the shoe's ventilation is not obstructed.

Visible wear on the Bio-Dyneema upper.

Bio-Dyneema is extremely abrasion-resistant, but persistent rubbing against sharp objects can cause wear. If minor scuffing occurs, it typically does not affect performance. For significant tears, consult customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size, remembering the recommendation to go up a half size. The norda™ Lock System provides a snug fit, but no specific setup is required beyond lacing them to your preference.

Compatibility:

The Norda 001A "Cinder" is designed for trail running and versatile outdoor activities. It is compatible with various sock types, though moisture-wicking socks are recommended to maximize the benefits of the Arnitel® finish. It is not designed for specific electronic device integration.

Care:

To maintain the performance and longevity of your Norda 001A trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the Bio-Dyneema upper with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush to remove mud and debris from the lugs. A damp cloth can be used for the rest of the sole unit.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: Wash laces separately if needed, using mild soap and water.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
