How do I clean the shoes?
Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to clean the shoes. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the lifespan of these shoes?
The lifespan depends on usage and terrain. Regular trail running can wear down the outsole faster. Replace them when the cushioning degrades or the tread wears out.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the shoes incorporate sustainable materials, including a 100% recycled polyester upper and a midsole that utilizes renewable sugarcane feedstock.
What is the purpose of the GORE-TEX?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.
What is the lug height?
The lug height is 4mm, which helps with traction on the trails.

The offset is 6mm, which contributes to a more natural feel.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If there is damage, the shoe may no longer be waterproof.
