FAQs
What makes the Dyneema® fiber in the mesh beneficial?
Dyneema® fiber is known for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio, making the mesh exceptionally lightweight yet highly resistant to stretching and abrasion, ensuring durability and a secure fit.
How do the trainers handle wet conditions?
The Arnitel® finish is designed to wick away moisture, keeping your feet dry. Combined with the VIBRAM® MegaGrip outsole, they offer good performance and traction even in damp environments.
Can these trainers be used for marathon running?
Yes, the combination of comfort, lightweight design, and durable construction makes them suitable for long-distance running and marathon training, provided they are properly broken in.
What is the primary advantage of the VIBRAM® MegaGrip outsole?
The VIBRAM® MegaGrip outsole is renowned for its superior grip and durability on both wet and dry surfaces, providing excellent traction across a variety of terrains.
How often should I clean my Norda 001A trainers?
Clean them as needed, typically after activities that leave them dirty. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain their appearance and material integrity.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The mesh upper offers some flexibility, but it's best to try them on to determine the fit. They are designed for a standard adult foot width.
Do the reflective details offer significant visibility?
The reflective details are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, making you more noticeable to light sources, which adds a layer of safety.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new, robust footwear. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Gradually increase wear time.
Traction is reduced on very slick surfaces.
While the VIBRAM® MegaGrip is exceptional, extremely slick surfaces like polished wet tile may still present challenges. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris which can impede grip.
Moisture seems to be trapped inside.
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Check that the shoes are not excessively dirty, as dirt can clog the mesh. Allow ample drying time after use.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Norda 001A "Cinder" trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the adhesives and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew.
