Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Buzzard trainers are designed for active adults who need a reliable shoe capable of transitioning smoothly between asphalt and trail environments. These trainers provide excellent responsive cushioning and traction through proprietary technologies, making them a strong choice for mixed-terrain runners. Note that while they offer robust toe protection and stability, they are specifically optimized for trail-to-road versatility rather than extreme technical mountain climbing.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Buzzard trainers feature HH Max-Vent technology for breathability, meaning they are not waterproof and are designed to let moisture escape.
Can I use these for road marathons?
They are designed for mixed use. While they perform well on roads, they are optimized for trail-to-road versatility.
How do I choose the right size?
The Buzzard trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual running shoe size, perhaps opting for a half-size up if you prefer more room for foot swelling on long runs.
What is the primary surface intended for these shoes?
They are hybrid trainers meant for both asphalt and light-to-moderate trail environments.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the HH Max-Comfort Insole can be removed for cleaning or to be replaced with custom orthotics.
Do they provide ankle support?
These are low-top trainers designed for flexibility and natural movement; they provide structural stability via the frame, but not rigid ankle support.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pebbles or debris inside the shoe during trail use
Ensure the laces are tied with a secure runner's loop and verify that the mesh is not damaged. If debris persists, consider wearing gaiters for added protection.
Slippage on very slick, muddy surfaces
While the Max-Grip outsole is versatile, extreme mud can clog any lug pattern. Ensure you maintain a shorter, more controlled stride on wet, slick slopes.
Arch discomfort during long runs
The HH Arch-Brace is designed for standard support. If you require specialized orthotics, ensure you remove the factory HH Max-Comfort Insole before inserting your custom footbeds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud or dirt with a soft brush after every trail run.
- Washing: Use warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the bonding agents and the structural integrity of the HH Lite-Frame.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heaters, which can cause the mesh to become brittle.
- Insole Care: If the HH Max-Comfort Insole becomes saturated, remove it and allow it to dry separately to prevent odors.
