FAQs
Are the NORDA 001A suitable for road running?
These shoes are optimized for trail running. While they can be used on roads for short distances, the tread pattern and cushioning are designed for off-road performance, and excessive road use may accelerate wear.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by NORDA. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Consider trying them on if possible, as personal fit preferences vary.
What is the primary benefit of the Dyneema® upper?
Dyneema® is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making the upper incredibly lightweight, durable, and resistant to abrasion, while maintaining a comfortable and secure fit.
How does the Arnitel® TPEE midsole contribute to performance?
Arnitel® TPEE provides a unique blend of cushioning and resilience, offering a responsive feel that helps reduce energy loss over long distances and adapts to various impacts.
Can these shoes be used in wet conditions?
Yes, the materials are designed to handle wet conditions. The Vibram® soleplate provides good traction even when wet, and the shoe construction aims to drain water efficiently.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
The lifespan depends on usage frequency, terrain, and individual running style. However, the high-durability materials used in the NORDA 001A are intended for extended use, particularly for ultra-distance runners.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is normal for lightweight, durable materials. Wear the shoes for shorter runs to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Traction seems inconsistent on very wet, slick surfaces
While the Vibram® soleplate offers excellent grip, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any tread. Ensure your stride and foot placement are adjusted for such conditions.
Dirt accumulation in the sole tread
Use a stiff brush or a pointed object (like a twig or dull pick) to carefully remove packed dirt from the sole's lugs after runs.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running on mixed terrain, including dirt, mud, gravel, and rock. They are suitable for both training and racing, particularly for ultra-marathon distances.
Care:
