FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, these shoes are specifically engineered for trail running performance. They may not offer the same support or durability for prolonged casual wear on hard surfaces compared to lifestyle shoes.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure with minimal slipping.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, the waterproof membrane, and the adhesives.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The duration of waterproofing depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning and occasional reapplication of appropriate waterproofing treatments can help maintain its effectiveness.
What terrain are the 3mm lugs best suited for?
The 3mm lugs provide excellent grip on dirt, mud, gravel, and moderate rocky trails. They offer a good balance between traction and comfort on varied natural surfaces.
Will my feet get too hot in these waterproof shoes?
The waterproof membrane can reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes. For extremely hot weather or high-intensity activities, consider breathability needs. However, the design aims to balance waterproofing with adequate ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite being waterproof
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the waterproof upper. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may need reapplication or the shoe might be compromised.
Traction is poor on certain surfaces
The 3mm lugs are optimized for trails; performance on very slick surfaces like wet rocks or ice may be reduced. Clean mud or debris from the lugs to restore grip.
Cushioning feels too firm
The FloatPro™ foam may require a short break-in period. If firmness persists after several uses, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the shoe's support level meets your needs.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproofing for wet conditions.
- Superior cushioning thanks to the FloatPro™ foam midsole.
- Reliable traction from the 3mm lugs on uneven terrain.
- Designed for comfort and a 'barely there' feel during runs.
- Durable materials suitable for trail use.
Cons
- Primarily designed for trail running, may not perform as well on paved surfaces.
- Limited color options available.
- Specific sizing (UK 12 in this instance) might not suit all.
- Waterproof feature might reduce breathability in very hot weather.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before heading out for your first run. Adjust laces for a secure, personalized fit.
Compatibility: Optimized for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor activities. They are best suited for uneven, natural terrain rather than paved roads.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check the waterproof membrane's integrity. If performance seems diminished, consider using a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for footwear.
