FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
These are specialized trail running shoes; while they can handle short road sections, they perform best on dirt, rock, and technical trail surfaces.
Is the sizing the same for men and women?
Yes, this is a unisex model. Please use the provided UK adult sizing chart to ensure a correct fit.
How often should I replace these trail runners?
Depending on usage and intensity, most high-performance trail shoes typically show significant wear after 300-500 miles.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for your specific foot mechanics.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the performance materials and adhesive. Hand wash with mild soap and cool water only.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight or restricted
Adjust the lacing tension through the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling that occurs during long runs.
Excessive debris inside the shoe
Ensure the heel collar is flush against the ankle and consider pairing with trail gaiters for loose, sandy, or gravelly terrain.
Outsole losing traction due to mud
Use a stiff brush to clear mud from between the lugs to restore the full grip potential of the outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify your sizing through a professional fitting, as the performance-oriented fit should be snug but not restrictive. These shoes are unisex; please refer to UK sizing standards. For maintenance, remove loose dirt after each run using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become muddy, rinse them with cool water and air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can compromise the materials and adhesive bonds. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to maintain the structural integrity of the specialized foam and outsole components.
