FAQs
Are the Norda 001 trainers waterproof?
The Norda 001 Trail Trainers are designed with a water-resistant Dyneema upper but are not fully waterproof. They offer good protection against splashes and light rain, but prolonged submersion in water may lead to them getting wet.
What is Dyneema material?
Dyneema is a brand of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber. It is known for being incredibly strong, lightweight, and durable, often used in applications requiring high performance and resistance to abrasion.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Norda. The 001 Trail Trainers are designed for a snug, performance fit. Consider your usual UK shoe size and ensure there is adequate room in the toe box for natural foot splay during running.
Can these trainers be used for road running?
While the cushioning and support are adequate, the aggressive Vibram Megagrip outsole is optimized for off-road traction. Using them extensively on hard road surfaces may lead to faster outsole wear and a less comfortable experience compared to road-specific shoes.
What is the benefit of the diamond-pattern laces?
The diamond pattern on the Dyneema yarn laces helps to increase friction, ensuring a more secure knot that is less likely to come undone during strenuous activity compared to smooth laces.
How should I clean the TPU insole?
The TPU insole can be removed and washed with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting it into the trainer.
Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram Megagrip outsole is clean. Mud or debris can significantly impact grip. Rinse the sole with water and a brush.
Upper feels stiff or uncomfortable
The Dyneema upper may require a break-in period. Wear the trainers for shorter runs initially and gradually increase distance. Ensure laces are not over-tightened.
Laces come undone easily
Ensure the diamond-pattern Dyneema laces are tied securely with a double knot if necessary. The Dyneema material has low friction, so a firm knot is important.
Reflective details appear worn
Reflective elements are durable but can degrade with excessive abrasion or improper cleaning. Avoid abrasive scrubbing directly on the reflective areas.
