Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Buzzard Men's Trail Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a versatile shoe for both asphalt and trail running. Their key benefit lies in the adaptive outsole and cushioning technologies that provide comfort and stability across different terrains. A potential caveat to consider is that while versatile, they are optimized for trail running and may offer a different feel on pure road surfaces compared to dedicated road shoes. These trainers feature advanced grip technologies, responsive cushioning, and a focus on breathability and durability, making them a reliable choice for the adventurous runner.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable and versatile, the Buzzard trainers are specifically designed for trail running. Their aggressive outsole might feel different on hard surfaces compared to casual shoes. However, they can be worn casually if comfort and a rugged look are desired.

What is the main advantage of the HH Power-Stride technology?

HH Power-Stride technology is designed to provide responsive cushioning, giving you a springier feel with each step and reducing fatigue during runs.

How do the recycled materials impact performance?

The recycled materials used in the Buzzard trainers are selected to maintain performance and durability. They offer comparable qualities to virgin materials while reducing environmental impact.

Can I use these shoes in wet conditions?

Yes, the HH Max-Grip and HH Surround-Grip outsoles are designed to provide traction in varied conditions, including wet surfaces. The HH Quick Dry feature also helps manage moisture.

What is the intended lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan depends heavily on usage frequency, terrain, and individual gait. However, with proper care and for their intended use (trail running), they are built for durability with features like HH Tough-Wear.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The shoes feature an HH Arch-Brace for support and an HH Max-Comfort Insole, contributing to overall foot comfort and stability during activity.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with the provided sizing chart. Trying them on if possible is always the best method.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. For minor tightness, wearing them for short periods can help break them in.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsoles thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be hindering grip. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.

Feet feel warm or sweaty

Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. The HH Max-Vent system provides breathability, but sock choice also plays a role. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses.

Soles making unusual squeaking noises

This can sometimes occur with new shoes or due to moisture. Try flexing the shoe or ensuring the insoles are properly seated. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on mixed terrains, including both trails and roads.
  • Comfortable and responsive cushioning system suitable for long runs.
  • Breathable design helps keep feet cool and dry.
  • Durable construction with protective elements for trail use.
  • Incorporates a significant amount of recycled materials, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.

Cons

  • May feel slightly less responsive on pure asphalt compared to dedicated road running shoes.
  • The aggressive tread pattern, while good for trails, might wear faster on prolonged pavement use.
  • As trail shoes, the fit might be slightly more accommodating for wider feet, which could be a con for narrow-footed runners.
  • While durable, extreme conditions might require specialized footwear.
  • Color availability might be limited based on specific retailer stock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit.

Compatibility: Designed for men's adult foot sizes. Compatible with various running sock types. Not intended for specialized sports requiring rigid support like rock climbing.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For routine cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shape and degrade the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  4. Outsole Care: Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris and clean as needed to maintain optimal traction.
