FAQs
Are the NORDA 001A suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, the NORDA 001A is specifically engineered for the demands of trail running, particularly ultra-distances. For everyday wear, a less specialized shoe might be more appropriate.
How do I clean mud and dirt from the shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For wet mud, rinse with cold water and use a mild soap with a damp cloth or sponge. Always air dry away from heat.
What is the primary benefit of the Dyneema® upper?
The Dyneema® upper provides exceptional strength and durability in a lightweight package, offering resistance to abrasion and a secure, adaptive fit.
Can I use these shoes for hiking?
Yes, the robust construction and excellent traction make them suitable for hiking, especially on rugged or technical terrain where grip and support are important.
What makes the Arnitel® TPEE midsole special?
This proprietary midsole material is designed to offer a balance of high cushioning for comfort over long distances and benchmark resiliency, meaning it returns to its original shape effectively, providing consistent support.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. Allow for a break-in period on shorter runs.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Check the Vibram® soleplate for embedded debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn, as this can reduce grip.
Upper material feels stiff
Dyneema® is a durable material. Continued wear and short runs will help the upper conform to your foot shape over time. Avoid aggressive cleaning methods that could stiffen it further.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The NORDA 001A is ready to use out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first run. Consider wearing them for shorter runs initially to break them in.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for trail running, these shoes are compatible with most trail surfaces including dirt, mud, rock, and sand. They are not optimized for road running.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes completely at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
