Full details
The Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers are designed for adult males seeking a lightweight and versatile shoe for everyday activities. Their key benefit lies in their eco-conscious construction and comfortable, cushioned design, suitable for various casual uses. A potential consideration is their specific heel height measurement, which may affect preference for some users. These trainers feature a premium EVA midsole for superior cushioning, a grippy and flexible outsole, and are made with a significant amount of recycled materials, including laces, lining, reinforcements, and straps. They also incorporate an antimicrobial treatment to combat odors and over 80% recycled content in the upper.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for lightweight comfort and versatility for casual wear and light activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running or specialized athletic performance.
How much recycled material is used in these trainers?
Over 80% of the upper is made from recycled materials. Additionally, they feature 100% recycled laces, lining, toe and heel reinforcement, RPET reinforcement tape and collar reinforcement, and 100% recycled polyester strobel. The outsole also contains 30% recycled rubber.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials, especially the recycled components.
What does 'PFC Free' mean for these shoes?
'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 certification indicates a more eco-friendly manufacturing process.
What is the heel height of the Feathering Trainers?
The specified heel height for these trainers is 90 mm.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to standard UK sizing guides. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's sizing chart. The UK size 10.5 is provided as an example.
Will the antimicrobial treatment wear off?
The antimicrobial treatment is designed to provide long-lasting odor prevention. However, its effectiveness may diminish over extended periods of heavy use or improper cleaning. Regular cleaning according to care instructions helps maintain its performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The shoes may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them with different types of socks.
Soles feel slippery.
The outsole is designed for a balance of grip and flexibility. Ensure the soles are clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. For very slick surfaces, additional caution may be needed.
Noticeable odor after wear.
While treated with an antimicrobial finish, prolonged wear without cleaning can still lead to odors. Ensure proper ventilation after use and follow care instructions for cleaning. Using odor-absorbing insoles can also help.
Visible wear on recycled materials.
Recycled materials can sometimes show wear differently than virgin materials. Continue to follow care instructions to prolong the life of the shoes. Minor aesthetic changes are normal.
