FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
While designed for roads, the GORE-TEX membrane and stable platform perform well on light, gravel, or well-maintained trail paths.
Does the GORE-TEX lining make the shoe heavy?
The material is engineered to be lightweight, but it may feel slightly more structured than a non-waterproof mesh trainer.
Is the sizing consistent?
The Hurricane 26 GTX generally fits true to size for standard adult athletic footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand-wash with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane.
What is the primary benefit of the 41mm heel stack?
The high stack height offers maximum shock absorption, which helps reduce impact stress on the knees and ankles during long runs.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
While GORE-TEX is breathable, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks to assist with perspiration management.
Heel slippage
Adjust the lace tightness or utilize the runner's loop (top eyelet) to increase heel lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure you have the correct size based on your specific foot structure; the Hurricane 26 GTX provides a secure, performance-oriented fit.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove excess mud or dirt after each run using a soft brush or cloth.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid placing them directly on radiators or heaters, as high heat can degrade the adhesive and the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Maintenance: Remove the sockliner to dry separately if the shoes become saturated after heavy use in the rain.
- Storage: Keep in a well-ventilated space to prevent moisture build-up inside the membrane.
