Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Buzzard Trail Runner is designed for adult athletes seeking a versatile shoe that transitions seamlessly from asphalt roads to rugged off-road trails. Combining advanced cushioning technologies with a high-traction outsole, it offers a balanced experience for trail enthusiasts; however, users should note that the lower lug profile is optimized for mixed terrain rather than highly technical or deep mud environments.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Buzzard Trail Runner prioritizes breathability through Max-Vent mesh, meaning they are not waterproof.
Can I use these for road marathons?
While comfortable on asphalt, they are specifically optimized for trail performance and may wear faster on high-abrasion road surfaces.
How do I determine the right size?
The sizes follow standard UK adult shoe sizing. We recommend checking the size guide or trying them on with the specific socks you intend to use.
What is the primary material in the midsole?
The midsole is crafted using EVA, a lightweight, responsive cushioning material.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, trail running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of the terrain and your running gait.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris caught between the lugs and clean with a soft brush.
Foot feels too hot during runs
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than cotton to maximize the efficiency of the Max-Vent mesh.
Shoe feels loose or unstable
Re-evaluate your lacing technique; try using the heel-lock lacing method to secure the midfoot better.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the fit allows for a thumb’s width of space at the toe, accounting for foot swelling during long runs. Keep the shoes clean by removing loose dirt after every use with a soft-bristled brush. If the trainers become heavily soiled, hand wash them in lukewarm water with mild detergent; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the HH Lite-Frame and adhesive components. Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
