FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While the Fresh Foam X cushioning offers comfort, the aggressive Vibram® outsole and lug pattern are optimized for trail and off-road use. They are not ideal for dedicated road running and may wear down faster on pavement.
How do I clean the knit upper?
Gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
What is the main difference in the v9 compared to previous versions?
The v9 features a revamped Vibram® outsole tread pattern with deeper lugs for superior traction and a redesigned knit upper for enhanced breathability and protection.
What type of terrain is best for these trainers?
These trainers are best suited for varied and adventurous terrain, including dirt trails, rocky paths, mud, and uneven surfaces.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature a breathable knit upper and a gusseted tongue to keep debris out, but they are not fully waterproof. Water may penetrate through the upper during prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various adult male UK sizes. Please check the product listing for the specific size range available.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from a breathable knit material, with some colorways potentially incorporating elements of Suede, Nylon, or Leather for added durability and structure.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing thinner or thicker socks depending on the fit. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs.
Traction is reduced on certain surfaces.
Clean the outsole lugs of mud or debris. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the terrain; the Vibram® outsole is optimized for off-road.
Upper material shows signs of wear.
Regular cleaning and proper drying can help prolong the life of the upper. Avoid abrasive actions or exposing the shoes to extreme conditions consistently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for trail running and hiking. While comfortable, their aggressive tread is optimized for off-road conditions rather than road running or general athletic activities on hard surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
