Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Buzzard trainers are designed for active adults who need a versatile footwear solution that performs equally well on asphalt and rugged trail paths. These trainers provide a key benefit of responsive cushioning and high-traction grip through specialized proprietary technologies, making them ideal for mixed-terrain runners who value lightweight stability. A potential caveat for long-distance trail specialists is that the lower lug profile may offer less aggressive bite on extremely muddy or loose, steep terrain compared to dedicated heavy-duty mountain shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the HH Max-Vent mesh is designed specifically for high breathability, which allows water to pass through the fabric.
Can I use these for road marathons?
While comfortable on asphalt, they are optimized for trails; for strictly road-based marathons, a dedicated road trainer might provide better specific cushioning.
How should I clean the recycled laces?
Remove them and hand wash in lukewarm water with mild soap, then let them air dry.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Buzzard features a standard athletic fit, but the flexible nature of the upper allows for some natural accommodation.
What is the primary material in the midsole?
The midsole is made from 30% recycled EVA, chosen for its balance of weight and shock absorption.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
They provide neutral support suitable for most runners; if you require specific arch correction, you can replace the factory insert with a medical-grade orthotic.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after short runs
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened, which can compress the foot, and check that the sock liner is seated correctly.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
The open mesh promotes ventilation, so consider using gaiters if running on particularly sandy or rocky trails.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Seamless transition between paved roads and trail paths
- Excellent ventilation keeps feet comfortable during summer runs
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue on longer excursions
- Eco-conscious design using high percentages of recycled materials
- Integrated toe protection guards against rocks and debris
Cons
- Lower lug profile may limit deep-mud performance
- Not intended for extreme off-trail or technical mountain scrambling
- May require break-in period for optimal fit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen Buzzard trainers, start by confirming the fit; the shoes should feel snug around the midfoot with enough space for the toes to splay. If using your own orthotic insoles, ensure the factory-installed insert is removed first. For daily care, do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can degrade the specialized bonding agents and recycled materials. Instead, clean mud and debris off the outsole after use using a soft brush. If the uppers become dirty, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the EVA midsoles.
