FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they offer excellent grip, the Norda 001 Trail Trainers are optimized for off-road, trail conditions. They may feel firmer and less cushioned on pavement compared to dedicated road running shoes.
How do I clean the Dyneema upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with mild soap is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals. Always air dry.
What is the main advantage of the Dyneema material?
Dyneema is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber known for its extreme strength-to-weight ratio, making the upper incredibly lightweight, durable, and resistant to abrasion and tearing.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart and consider that trail running shoes often benefit from a snug fit with a little room in the toe box for swelling during long efforts. Your UK size should align with the product information.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
Yes, the Vibram Megagrip outsole provides excellent traction on wet surfaces. The materials are designed to handle damp conditions, though the shoes are not fully waterproof.
What is included with the trainers?
The trainers include a pair of Dyneema laces and a carry bag.
How does the TPU insole benefit the runner?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) insole offers supportive cushioning and helps manage moisture within the shoe, contributing to comfort during long runs.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram Megagrip outsole is clean. Mud and debris can significantly impair traction. Rinse the sole with water.
Discomfort or rubbing from the upper
Verify the lacing is not too tight or uneven. The seamless upper should provide a comfortable fit; ensure your socks are also well-fitting and moisture-wicking.
Squeaking sound during activity
This can sometimes occur with new shoes or specific moisture conditions. Check that the insole is properly seated. If persistent, it may be a characteristic of the materials.
Reflective details not as bright
Ensure the reflective surfaces are clean and free from dirt or scuffs. While durable, excessive abrasion can diminish reflectivity over time.

Care:
