FAQs

Can I use these shoes for road running?

While technically possible, the outsole and midsole are optimized for soft, uneven trail surfaces and will wear down quickly on asphalt.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Altamesa 500 V2 is designed for breathability. They are not marketed as waterproof.

How should I clean them after a muddy trail run?

Let the mud dry, then gently brush it off. If necessary, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Never machine wash.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The shoe provides a secure, locked-in fit; those with wider feet may find the standard width snug and should ensure they are sized correctly.

What is the primary terrain for these shoes?

They are designed for technical forest trails, rocky paths, and uneven off-road conditions.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe on descents

Try the 'heel lock' lacing technique to better secure the ankle and midfoot area.

Excessive mud buildup in the outsole

Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the lug pattern after your run to restore grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stability on uneven trails
  • High-level impact cushioning for joints
  • Durable construction for long-term use
  • Secure lockdown fit for technical sections

Cons

  • Not suitable for paved road running
  • May feel heavy compared to minimalist racing shoes
  • Specific trail geometry may not suit all foot types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper performance, ensure the laces are snug across the bridge of the foot without overtightening, which maintains the integrity of the locked-in fit system. Since this is a trail-specific shoe, it is compatible with most standard trail running socks; however, high-wicking synthetic blends are recommended to manage moisture. To clean your trainers, remove excess mud with a soft brush after each run. If they become heavily soiled, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air-dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to preserve the structural foam of the midsole.
