Their key benefit is offering cushioned comfort and reliable grip across forest paths, rocky ascents, and dusty trails.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While the cushioning is comfortable, the Tracerocker 2.0 are primarily designed for trail running. The Traxion outsole offers superior grip on natural terrain, which may wear down faster or feel less efficient on hard asphalt.
What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?
The lightweight EVA midsole provides excellent shock absorption and consistent cushioning, reducing impact on your joints during long runs and offering a soft feel underfoot.
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 end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be comfortably snug.
Can I use these shoes in the rain?
The open mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are suitable for running in light rain or on damp trails. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, waterproof trail running shoes might be a better choice.
What does 'at least 50% recycled content' mean?
It means that the materials used in the upper part of the shoe are made up of at least half recycled components, contributing to reducing waste and environmental impact.
How durable is the Traxion rubber outsole?
The Traxion rubber is designed for durability and provides excellent traction on trails. Its lifespan will depend on the terrain you run on and your running style, but it is built to withstand typical trail use.
Troubleshooting
Slipping sensation on wet surfaces
Ensure the Traxion outsole is clean. For very slick surfaces, moderate your pace and maintain balance. The grip is optimized for dry to moderately wet trails.
Feet feel too warm during runs
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. The open mesh provides breathability, but in very high temperatures, consider socks designed for moisture-wicking.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes with shorter runs. Check socks for seams that might cause irritation.
