FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running on trails?
The Bandit Trail 3 offers good cushioning for trail running. For marathon distances on trails, the cushioning and durability are beneficial, but ensure they provide adequate comfort for your personal needs over that duration.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart and measure your foot from heel to toe. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Try them on with your usual running socks.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?
While comfortable, these trainers are specifically engineered for trail running. Their features, like aggressive lugs, are optimized for off-road performance and may wear differently or feel less suitable for casual, flat-surface use.
What is the primary advantage of the Charged Cushioning®?
Charged Cushioning® uses compression-molded foam to provide a blend of responsiveness and durability, offering good impact absorption and energy return during your runs.
How do the technical trail lugs enhance performance?
The technical trail lugs are designed with specific patterns and depth to dig into varied terrain, providing superior grip and stability when climbing or descending steep or slippery trails.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Bandit Trail 3 features a mesh upper for breathability, which means they are not waterproof. They offer water resistance and quick drying properties suitable for wet trail conditions.
What does an 8mm offset mean for my running?
An 8mm offset means there is an 8mm difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This is a moderate offset often preferred for its balance of cushioning and a more natural foot position during running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, ensure the laces are tied securely and consider a double knot. Always use the standard tie closure to achieve your preferred fit.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove any packed mud or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the shoe is properly broken in, as traction can improve with use.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Check the fit of the molded sockliner and ensure it is seated correctly. Wear appropriate running socks. If the discomfort persists, the shoes may not be the right fit for your foot shape or running style.
Mesh upper feels less breathable over time
Ensure the mesh is clean and free of dirt or sweat residue. Gently clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Over time, natural wear may affect breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by trying them on with the type of socks you typically use for trail running. Adjust the standard tie laces for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring no pressure points.
Compatibility:
Designed specifically for trail running, these shoes are compatible with various trail surfaces including dirt, mud, gravel, and packed earth. They are intended for adult female runners. While they offer good performance on trails, they are not optimized for road running.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For tougher mud, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
