FAQs

What makes the ACG Ultra Fly Trail 2 suitable for ultramarathons?

The combination of responsive ZoomX foam, a stabilizing carbon flyplate, and a lightweight, high-traction Vibram Litebase outsole provides the comfort, energy return, and grip needed for extreme endurance trail running.

How do I ensure the best fit for trail running?

It's recommended to try them on before a long run. Lace them up securely, ensuring no pressure points but a snug feel around the midfoot and heel to prevent slippage on uneven terrain.

Can I use these shoes for road running?

While they offer cushioning, their design is optimized for trail surfaces. The aggressive tread pattern may feel less efficient and wear faster on hard road surfaces.

What is the benefit of the Vibram Litebase outsole?

Vibram Litebase significantly reduces the weight of the outsole while maintaining its durability and grip, providing excellent traction on a variety of trail conditions without adding bulk.

How does the carbon flyplate contribute to performance?

The carbon flyplate adds rigidity and responsiveness to the midsole, promoting a more efficient toe-off and providing a propulsive feel during your stride, especially beneficial on long, demanding runs.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The description does not indicate waterproof features. They are designed for breathability and drainage, suitable for trail conditions where water exposure is common, but not for complete submersion.

Troubleshooting

Traction issues on wet surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram Litebase outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For extremely slick conditions, proceed with caution and consider alternative footwear if necessary.

Discomfort during long runs.

Check the lacing for an optimal, secure fit. Ensure the sockliner is properly positioned. If discomfort persists, the shoe's specific fit might not be suitable for your foot shape.

Accelerated wear on the outsole.

Inspect for any sharp objects or excessive abrasion points on the trail. While durable, extreme conditions can impact outsole longevity. Proper cleaning can help maintain the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to use out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by adjusting the lace fastening to your preference. A snug fit is recommended for trail running to prevent movement and ensure stability.

Compatibility: Designed for trail running and hiking. The Vibram Litebase outsole offers versatility across various outdoor terrains, including dirt paths, rocks, and moderate mud.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Brush off loose dirt and debris after each use.
  2. For heavier dirt, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
