FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Altamesa 500 v2 trainers have a standard width. For individuals with wide feet, it is recommended to try them on first or consider other models specifically designed for wider fits.
What type of running are these trainers best for?
These trainers are best suited for road running and light trail use, offering a balance of cushioning and traction for everyday training.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to The North Face's official size guide or compare with your current running shoes. Trying them on in person is the most accurate method.
Can I wear these trainers for hiking?
They can be used for light hiking on well-maintained trails due to their traction, but they are primarily designed for running and may lack the support and durability for more demanding hiking conditions.
What is the benefit of the DREAM midsole?
The DREAM midsole provides lightweight cushioning, which helps to absorb impact during your runs and offers a responsive feel.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a reduction in cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with those that have better grip.
Discomfort on longer runs.
Verify the fit is correct and laces are adjusted appropriately. Ensure the shoes are broken in before very long distances.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
The Surface CTRL™ outsole is optimized for dry conditions. Exercise caution on wet surfaces, as grip may be diminished.
