Helly Hansen Feathering Lightweight Trainer Shoe - Black - 11.5

The Helly Hansen Feathering trainers are designed for lightweight comfort and casual use. For marathon running or other high-impact athletic activities, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning are recommended.

Over 80% of the upper is made from recycled materials, including laces, lining, reinforcements, RPET binding and collar, and recycled polyester strobel. The outsole is also made from recycled rubber.

The antimicrobial treatment helps to prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your shoes fresher for longer during daily wear.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and construction.

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They offer breathability and comfort for everyday wear, but are not suitable for use in wet conditions where waterproofing is required.

PFC-free means the shoes do not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in waterproofing treatments but can be harmful to the environment. This aligns with Helly Hansen's commitment to sustainability.

The recycled rubber outsole should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure it is dry before storage to prevent material degradation.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly snug, wear them around the house for short periods to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. The recycled materials may have a slight break-in period.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for grip, extreme conditions like wet ice may reduce traction. Check for any visible damage to the sole pattern.

The antimicrobial treatment helps, but regular airing out is recommended. Hand wash with a mild cleaner and ensure they are completely dry before storing. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles if the issue persists.
