Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Kestrel Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a versatile shoe that performs equally well on rugged trails and paved asphalt. Featuring advanced nitrogen-injected foam and a protective Peba rock plate, these trainers offer an excellent balance of responsiveness, cushioning, and energy return. While the shoes excel in various terrains and weather conditions due to their hydrophobic properties, users should ensure they select the correct sizing as performance footwear often requires a precise fit for long-distance comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are hydrophobic, meaning they are designed to repel water and dry quickly, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof like a Gore-Tex membrane.
What is the weight of the shoe?
Each shoe weighs approximately 250g, making them lightweight for trail running.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Kestrel Trainers feature a 7mm drop.
Are the outsoles safe for indoor gym floors?
Yes, they feature non-marking outsoles, which makes them suitable for use on indoor surfaces without leaving scuff marks.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics.
How should I clean the recycled mesh material?
Use a mild soap and a soft damp cloth to spot clean the mesh. Avoid harsh detergents.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces slightly mid-run to accommodate volume changes.
Outsole losing traction in extreme mud
Ensure the outsole grooves are free of impacted debris by rinsing with water and scrubbing with a soft nylon brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Kestrel Trainers perform at their best, verify your size using a standard UK sizing guide. Because these are performance trainers, aim for a snug fit with a thumb's width of space at the toes to prevent blistering during descents.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove mud with a soft brush once it has dried. Do not submerge in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Avoid placing them directly on radiators, as heat can degrade the foam composition.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the polyester mesh.
