FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature HH Max-Vent breathable mesh for cooling, which is not waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon road running?
While they are comfortable on pavement, they are optimized for trail-to-road transitions; dedicated road shoes may be more suitable for pure marathon racing.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Are these suitable for winter running?
They work well in mild, dry conditions, but they are not insulated or water-resistant for deep snow or freezing wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to better secure your heel and midfoot.
Excessive dust accumulation in mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush on dry shoes to gently dislodge particulates from the breathable mesh pores.
Shoe feels stiff out of the box
Wear them for short walks or light jogs for a few days to allow the HH Free-Flex system to break in properly to your foot strike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen Buzzard trainers, keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and mesh materials. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after your run. If the trainers become deeply soiled, hand wash them in cool water with mild soap and allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Before hitting the trail, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to utilize the support offered by the HH Lite-Frame, and always wear technical, moisture-wicking socks to maximize the effectiveness of the Max-Vent mesh.
