Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers in Green (UK 13) are designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, versatile shoe for everyday use. Their key benefit lies in the combination of a well-cushioned EVA midsole and a grippy, flexible outsole, all while incorporating a significant amount of recycled materials. A potential caveat is the specific heel height of 90 mm, which may not suit all preferences for minimalist footwear.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers?
The primary benefit is their lightweight design combined with excellent cushioning from the EVA midsole and reliable grip from the flexible outsole, all while featuring a significant amount of recycled materials.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed for lightweight versatility and everyday comfort. While they offer good grip and cushioning, they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities rather than high-intensity athletic training.
How much of the shoe is made from recycled materials?
Over 80% of the upper is made from recycled materials, including 100% recycled laces, lining, toe/heel reinforcement, polyester strobel, and reinforcement tape. The outsole also contains 30% recycled rubber.
Do these trainers help prevent foot odor?
Yes, they feature an antimicrobial treatment designed to prevent odors, keeping the shoes fresher for longer.
What does 'PFC Free' certification mean for these shoes?
PFC Free certification means that the shoes have been manufactured without the use of perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in water-repellent treatments but can be environmentally persistent. This indicates a more environmentally responsible manufacturing process.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is specified at 90 mm.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth to preserve the materials and construction.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing thinner socks or allowing the shoes to break in over a few wears may help. The recycled materials might have a different initial feel.
Slight squeaking sound
This can occasionally happen with new footwear. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or between the tongue and laces. Ensure the laces are not overly tight.
Traction is less than expected on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for grip, performance on extremely wet or polished surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris for optimal traction.
Material seems stiff
The recycled materials might require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.
