Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While they can be used on tarmac, the lugged outsole is optimized for trails. Extended use on hard road surfaces will cause the outsole lugs to wear down prematurely.

Does the waterproof membrane last forever?

The water-repellent performance may diminish over time depending on the frequency of use and terrain. Regular cleaning helps maintain its efficacy.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

Trail shoes should allow for slight foot swelling during long runs. Ensure there is about a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with orthotics or aftermarket insoles if needed for personal arch support.

Are these shoes unisex?

This specific series is designed with a male-specific fit and sizing structure.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels too hot during a run

The waterproof membrane naturally restricts airflow; consider using thinner, moisture-wicking technical socks to improve comfort.

Debris entering the shoe

Ensure the laces are securely tightened and consider pairing the shoes with trail gaiters if running through particularly loose scree or thick brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior protection against water and mud
  • Excellent grip on unstable off-road surfaces
  • Durable upper material prevents common trail wear and tear
  • Stable build for technical trail running

Cons

  • Waterproof membrane may limit ventilation in hot weather
  • Heavier than standard lightweight road racing shoes
  • Limited colorways for specific sizes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Altamesa 500 v2 trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Cleaning: After muddy runs, remove excess dirt with a soft brush once the mud has dried.
  2. Washing: Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane adhesive.
  3. Drying: If the shoes get soaked internally, remove the insoles and air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the waterproof lining.
