FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for waterproof trails?
The NORDA 001A are designed for general trail use and offer some water resistance due to the Dyneema® upper. However, they are not fully waterproof. For extremely wet conditions, consider gaiters or specialized waterproof footwear.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without significant slipping. It's recommended to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.
What is the main advantage of the Dyneema® upper?
Dyneema® is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making the upper incredibly lightweight, durable, and resistant to abrasion while maintaining a comfortable, secure fit.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
These shoes are specifically engineered for trail running. While they can be used on short road sections, the aggressive outsole and cushioning are optimized for off-road terrain, and their performance and durability may be reduced on pavement.
How often should I replace my NORDA 001A shoes?
The lifespan of trail running shoes varies based on mileage, terrain, and running style. However, for ultra-distance running where performance is critical, consider replacing them every 300-500 miles or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning.
What makes the Vibram® soleplate special?
Vibram® is a renowned sole manufacturer, and their exclusive soleplate for NORDA provides exceptional grip and durability on a wide range of trail surfaces, ensuring stability and confidence with every stride.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on trails
Clean the Vibram® soleplate thoroughly to remove embedded mud or debris. Check for excessive wear on the lugs.
Discomfort during long runs
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a secure yet comfortable fit. Consider using specialized trail running socks. Verify the shoe size is appropriate for your foot.
Upper feels restrictive
The Dyneema® upper is designed to be snug. If it feels overly tight, ensure laces are not overtightened. The material will conform to your foot over time with wear.
Excessive water retention
While the Dyneema® upper offers some water resistance, the shoes are not waterproof. Allow them to dry thoroughly after wet runs. Consider using water-repellent socks if needed.
