Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Crew Light trainers are ideal for active adults who spend their time near the coast or on boats, offering a lightweight, breathable solution for casual wear. These shoes prioritize comfort through advanced cushioning and cooling technologies, though they are specialized for summer and fair-weather environments rather than rugged, all-terrain trekking. With a construction that emphasizes quick-drying fabrics and recycled materials, they are a practical, eco-conscious choice for maritime enthusiasts.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof. They feature a quick-drying treatment that helps them dry faster after splashes, but they are designed for breathability rather than water resistance.
Can I use these for running?
While they are comfortable, they are designed as casual maritime trainers and do not provide the structural support required for long-distance road or trail running.
How do I choose the correct size?
These follow standard UK adult sizing. If you typically wear a size 8.5 in other performance trainers, you should find these to be a consistent fit.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the product incorporates both recycled rubber and recycled polyester in its design to minimize environmental impact.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Feet naturally swell during the day; ensure laces are adjusted for a looser fit in the afternoon, or remove the insole briefly to allow the shoe to breathe.
Inner lining showing signs of salt crystallization
Rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water and allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-profile trainers, no complex setup is required; simply ensure your standard UK size (in this case 8.5) allows for comfortable movement. To maintain the life of your trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the mesh.
- Drying: Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can warp the EVA foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. If exposed to salt water, rinse with fresh water as soon as possible to prevent mineral buildup and fabric degradation.
- Insoles: The removable insole can be washed separately if odor becomes an issue.
