FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature Gore-Tex (GTX) technology, which provides a waterproof yet breathable barrier.
Can I use these for road running?
While you can run on roads, they are optimized for trail surfaces. Using them on hard pavement will cause the rubber lugs to wear out much faster.
How should I clean my Zegama trainers?
Clean them by hand with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to high heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, yes. However, if you plan to wear thicker wool socks for winter trail running, you may want to consider a half-size up.
What does the ACG designation mean?
ACG stands for All Conditions Gear, indicating that these shoes are specifically engineered to handle rugged outdoor elements.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Adjust your lacing technique, such as using a runner's loop at the top eyelet to secure the heel.
Water entering from the top during heavy rain
Consider wearing trail-specific gaiters that attach to the shoe to provide a seal around the ankle.
Outsole clogged with heavy mud
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the debris between the lugs after your run to maintain traction for the next use.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your ACG Zegama GTX trainers, always ensure the laces are tightened firmly before starting your trek to prevent heel lift. If you frequently use custom orthotics, you can easily remove the stock insoles to accommodate them. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, remove loose debris with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials and adhesives from warping or degrading over time.
