Full details
The Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers are designed for adults seeking a lightweight and versatile shoe for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in their comfortable, cushioned sole and eco-conscious construction. A potential caveat is their specific sizing, which may require careful attention to ensure a proper fit. These trainers feature a premium EVA midsole for excellent cushioning, a grippy and flexible outsole for stability, and a significant portion of their upper is made from recycled materials, including laces, lining, and reinforcements.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers offer good cushioning and a flexible sole, they are primarily designed for lightweight activities, casual wear, and walking. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes with specific support and cushioning features are recommended.
How much of the shoe is made from recycled materials?
Over 80% of the upper is made from recycled materials. This includes 100% recycled laces, lining, toe and heel reinforcement, RPET reinforcement tape and collar reinforcement, and 100% recycled polyester strobel.
What does 'PFC Free' mean?
PFC Free means that the product does not contain perfluorinated chemicals. These chemicals are often used in waterproofing treatments but can be harmful to the environment. Helly Hansen ensures this product meets environmental standards by avoiding their use.
What is the heel height specified as 90mm?
The 90mm measurement refers to the heel height of the shoe. This is a characteristic of the shoe's design and may contribute to its overall profile and feel.
How should I care for the recycled materials?
Follow the general care instructions provided. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat to preserve the integrity of the recycled components.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the process can be harsh on the materials, cushioning, and adhesives. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The specified weight is 270.0 grams. This typically refers to a single shoe and the actual weight may vary slightly depending on the size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the fit is suitable for your foot shape.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Odors developing
Utilize the antimicrobial treatment by ensuring the shoes are aired out after each use. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles or sprays if the issue is persistent. Hand-wash removable insoles if applicable.
Minor scuffs or marks on the upper
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks on synthetic materials, a magic eraser might be used with extreme caution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your Feathering Trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the EVA midsole and rubber outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and shape.
- Laces and Linings: If laces or linings become dirty, they can often be hand-washed with mild detergent and cool water. Ensure they are thoroughly rinsed and air-dried.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
