The NNormal Kjerag Brut trainers are designed for adult trail runners seeking exceptional performance on soft, muddy, and rough terrains.

Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on very hard surfaces
The Kjerag Brut is optimized for soft terrains. Reduced traction on hard-packed or rocky surfaces is expected due to the aggressive lug design. For mixed terrain, consider shoes with a more versatile lug pattern.
Shoes feel too firm
The Eexpure cushioning is designed for responsiveness in competition. If a softer feel is desired, ensure laces are not overtightened and consider using a slightly thicker sock for added cushioning. These shoes are intended for performance over plush comfort.
Debris gets caught in the lugs
While the 7mm lugs provide excellent grip, some debris can accumulate. Regularly rinse the shoes after use and use a brush to clear any lodged material.
Upper feels restrictive
The Matryx Micro upper is designed for a secure, supportive fit. Ensure you have the correct size and consider alternative lacing techniques to find a comfortable fit that avoids pressure points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The NNormal Kjerag Brut comes ready for immediate use. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. A proper lacing technique is recommended to secure the foot without creating pressure points.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running surfaces, particularly soft, muddy, and rough terrains. They are compatible with standard gaiters if additional protection is desired. The neutral shoe type suits runners with a neutral foot strike.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Kjerag Brut trainers:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy runs, rinse the shoes with cool water to remove dirt and debris. Use a soft brush to gently scrub away stubborn mud from the upper and sole. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Remove insoles for faster drying if necessary.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing for extended periods.
