FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers?
The main benefit is their combination of lightweight comfort, versatile design for everyday wear, and a strong emphasis on sustainability through the extensive use of recycled materials.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They offer cushioning and flexibility but are not engineered as high-performance running shoes for intense training or long-distance running.
How much of the shoe is made from recycled materials?
Over 80% of the upper is made from recycled materials. Specific components like laces, lining, reinforcements, and the strobel are 100% recycled, and the outsole contains 30% recycled rubber.
How do I clean the trainers?
Clean the trainers with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild soap solution sparingly. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
What does 'PFC Free' certification mean?
PFC Free means the product does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in waterproofing treatments but can be harmful to the environment. This certification indicates a more environmentally conscious manufacturing process.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 90 mm, providing a noticeable lift and contributing to the cushioning effect.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them for short periods or using thicker socks might help stretch them slightly. For significant tightness, consider a size up.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole offers good grip, but performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that could affect traction.
Odor developing
The shoes have an antimicrobial treatment, but frequent use can still lead to odor. Ensure feet are dry when wearing, use breathable socks, and air the shoes out after each use. A baking soda sprinkle inside overnight can help absorb odors.
Materials appear worn quickly
While durable, the recycled materials and cushioning are optimized for comfort and moderate use. Avoid excessive abrasion, harsh cleaning, or using them for activities beyond their intended purpose.
