FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the Techlite™ Ultra midsole?
The Techlite™ Ultra midsole provides an exceptionally lightweight and responsive cushioning system, designed to deliver energy return and stability for a propulsive stride on trails.
How does the Navic Fit System™ improve the running experience?
The Navic Fit System™ is engineered to securely lock the heel in place, preventing unwanted movement and slippage within the shoe, which enhances stability and comfort, especially during dynamic trail running.
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
These shoes are specifically designed for trail running and may not offer the optimal cushioning or durability for regular road running. Their tread pattern is optimized for off-road traction.
How should I clean my Konos Speed Trail ATR shoes?
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
They are best suited for varied trail terrains, including dirt paths, gravel, and moderately technical surfaces, offering good traction and stability.
Can I use these shoes for long-distance trail running (e.g., marathons)?
While designed for endurance, individual comfort and cushioning needs vary. They are excellent for half-marathons and many marathon distances, but ultra-runners may seek additional cushioning.
What does ATR stand for in the shoe's name?
ATR stands for All-Terrain Running, indicating the shoe's capability to perform across a wide range of outdoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose in the heel
Adjust the lacing system, paying close attention to the Navic Fit System™'s heel lock. Consult sizing charts to ensure you have the correct shoe size.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris. Note that while designed for all-terrain, extreme wet conditions may reduce optimal grip compared to specialized wet-traction shoes.
Feet feel uncomfortable after long runs
Break in the shoes with shorter runs first. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional cushioning is desired, but ensure they do not compromise the Navic Fit System™.
Upper material shows signs of wear
Inspect for snags or tears. Minor wear is normal for trail shoes. Avoid aggressive cleaning methods that could damage the fabric.
