FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Helly Hansen Feathering trainers are designed for light activity and general comfort. They are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for serious or long-distance running.

What is the best way to clean the EVA midsole?

You can clean the EVA midsole using a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt and then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

What makes these trainers 'lightweight'?

The lightweight design is achieved through the choice of materials, including a premium EVA midsole and potentially lighter upper materials, engineered to minimize overall shoe weight for enhanced comfort.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping excessively when you walk.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these?

For general comfort and the best fit, medium-thickness athletic or casual socks are recommended. Avoid very thick socks which might make the shoes feel too snug.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still tight, try loosening the laces. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size or a different model may be more suitable.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not excessively wet or slippery.

Cushioning feels flat

The EVA midsole provides lasting cushioning, but its feel can change over time with significant use. Ensure the shoes are clean and try wearing them with different socks. If the cushioning has noticeably degraded, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The Helly Hansen Feathering trainers are designed for general adult use. Their versatility means they are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure outfits. They are not designed for specific athletic disciplines and should not be used as specialized sports footwear.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Feathering trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent deformation and material degradation.
