FAQs
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
The NORDA 001A is designed for mixed terrain, performing well on everything from gravel paths and dirt trails to moderate singletrack and forest floors.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by NORDA and consider your usual UK shoe size. It's recommended to know your foot measurement for accuracy.
Is the Dyneema® upper waterproof?
Dyneema® is highly water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It offers excellent breathability and dries quickly if it does get wet.
How durable is the midsole?
The proprietary Arnitel® TPEE midsole is engineered for benchmark resiliency and durability, designed to maintain its cushioning properties through long-distance running.
Can these shoes be used for everyday running, not just ultras?
Yes, while built for ultra distances, their cushioning and lightweight design make them suitable for any trail run where comfort and performance are desired.
What is the primary benefit of the Arnitel® TPEE midsole?
Its primary benefit is providing optimal cushioning and exceptional resiliency, offering a balance of comfort and energy return for long runs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially
The seamless Dyneema® upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the Vibram® sole offers excellent grip, extremely wet or muddy conditions can challenge any outsole. Ensure the sole is clear of debris for optimal performance.
Upper material feels stiff
The Dyneema® material is chosen for its strength and durability. It will soften slightly with use. Avoid using excessive force or heat to try and soften it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
The NORDA 001A is designed for trail running and is compatible with most standard running socks. It is suitable for a wide range of adult runners regardless of gender.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are free from mud and moisture before storing to prevent material degradation.
