Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Buzzard trainers are engineered for adult trail runners who need a versatile shoe capable of transitioning smoothly from city asphalt to rugged off-road trails. These trainers offer a perfect balance of responsive cushioning and high-traction stability, making them an ideal choice for varied terrain exploration. While they provide excellent durability and breathability, users should be aware that the lower lug profile is optimized for versatility rather than extreme, deep-mud technical mountain racing.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Buzzard trainers feature quick-dry materials for moisture management, but they are designed to be breathable rather than waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, their versatile design and lower lug profile make them very capable of handling asphalt and pavement.
Are the materials eco-friendly?
Yes, the shoe incorporates recycled rubber in the outsole and recycled content in the EVA midsole, laces, lining, and reinforcements.
How do I know if the size 8.5 fits correctly?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during runs.
Is the toe protection hard or flexible?
The Pro Guard toe protection is engineered to be firm enough to deflect impacts from rocks and roots while remaining light enough to allow for a natural gait.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle and utilize the Arch-Brace for better lockdown.
Excessive dirt accumulation in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the Max-Vent mesh after it has dried; avoid scrubbing while wet.
Insole sliding or bunching up
Ensure the insole is dry before re-inserting it, and verify it is pushed firmly into the heel cup of the shoe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile transition from asphalt to trail surfaces
- Breathable mesh keeps feet cool on long runs
- Durable construction with reinforced toe protection
- Sustainable design using recycled materials
- Lightweight feel without sacrificing stability
Cons
- Lower lug profile may struggle in very deep, soft mud
- Limited to trail running focus, not intended for heavy-duty hiking
- Grey colorway may show dust from dry trails quickly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Buzzard trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the HH Arch-Brace feels snug against your midfoot; if the shoe feels too loose, tighten the recycled laces to lock in your heel.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform 2-3 short runs to allow the HH Max-Comfort Insole to mold slightly to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud with a soft brush after each run. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the HH Quick Dry properties and adhesive bonds.
- Air Drying: Always remove the insole and air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
