FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for technical mountain climbing?
No, while the Vibram Megagrip outsole offers great traction for light trails, these are designed as trainers and do not provide the structural support or protection required for technical mountaineering.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, the Pro Fly+ cushioning is comfortable for road running, though the outsole is specifically optimized for varied terrain, which may lead to faster wear on abrasive asphalt.
How do I clean the white material without damaging it?
Hand wash with cold water and mild soap using a soft brush. Avoid direct heat or sunlight when drying to prevent the white material from yellowing.
Do the shoes come with regular laces?
Yes, a secondary pair of standard laces is included in the box for those who prefer them over the pre-installed speed laces.
Is the upper material waterproof?
The nylon upper is breathable rather than waterproof. It is best suited for dry or light damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the tension of the speed lacing system. If the fit remains inconsistent, replace with the provided secondary standard laces for a customizable tension across the bridge of the foot.
Visible dirt on the translucent upper
Use a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of mild detergent to gently spot clean. Avoid harsh chemicals that may yellow or degrade the translucent nylon.
Loss of traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris caught in the lugs. Use a stiff brush to clear the tread, which will restore the grip performance of the Vibram rubber.
Pros and Cons

- Versatile performance for both trails and city streets
- Excellent grip provided by industry-standard Vibram outsole

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the speed laces are adjusted to your preference; the shoes come with a secondary pair of standard laces if you prefer a traditional tie method. Given the cream and white colour palette, it is recommended to treat the nylon upper with a water-repellent spray before initial use to guard against splashes and light mud. Cleaning should be done by hand using a soft-bristle brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these processes can degrade the specialized materials, the cushioning integrity, and the structural adhesive of the reinforced toe cap.
