FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Stinson 7?
The primary benefit is its exceptional cushioning combined with versatile traction, allowing it to perform well on both roads and trails, making it ideal for varied adventures.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The Stinson 7 is designed to accommodate a range of foot shapes, but specific width options are not detailed. Trying them on is recommended to ensure a comfortable fit.
How do I clean my Stinson 7 shoes?
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry them away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
What type of terrain is the Stinson 7 best for?
It is best suited for a mix of terrains including pavement, light to moderate trails, gravel, and dirt paths. Its versatility allows it to handle mixed conditions effectively.
Does the shoe offer good ankle support?
The Active Foot Frame and H-Frame technology provide significant midfoot and heel support, contributing to overall stability. However, it is a low-cut shoe, so ankle support relies mainly on the wearer's own musculature and the shoe's secure fit.
What is the sole drop of the Stinson 7?
The Stinson 7 features a 4mm heel-to-toe drop.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday use?
Yes, due to their significant cushioning and comfortable design, they are suitable for everyday wear, especially if your daily activities involve a lot of walking or standing.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing techniques, such as a runner's loop or heel lock, to better secure your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris (mud, small stones) and clean thoroughly. Ensure the shoe is not excessively worn. For extremely slick conditions, consider if the terrain exceeds the shoe's intended capability.
Discomfort after long wear
While designed for comfort, ensure the fit is correct for your foot shape. Break the shoes in gradually on shorter walks before attempting very long distances. Consider if insoles need replacement or if a different sock type might help.
Upper material feels stiff
The engineered jacquard mesh is designed for breathability and support. Wear the shoes for progressively longer periods to allow them to adapt to your foot's movement. Avoid using heat to soften them, as this can damage the material.
