FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers are designed for lightweight comfort and versatility, making them ideal for walking and casual wear. They are not specialized for running and may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for high-impact running activities.
What does 'PFC-Free' mean for these shoes?
PFC-Free means the shoes do not contain Perfluorinated Chemicals. These chemicals are often used in waterproofing treatments but can be harmful to the environment. Choosing PFC-free products is a more sustainable option.
How much of the shoe is made from recycled materials?
Over 80% of the upper is made from recycled materials. Additionally, recycled laces, lining, toe cap, heel, heel cap, reinforcing tape, and RPET reinforcing tape are used. The outsole also contains 30% recycled rubber, and there's a recycled polyester strap.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the benefit of the antimicrobial treatment?
The antimicrobial treatment helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your feet feeling fresher during and after wear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made with recycled materials and are treated to be PFC-free, which means they do not have the same level of water repellency as shoes treated with PFCs. They offer basic protection against light moisture but are not suitable for wet conditions.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Specific warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for details on the warranty period and terms.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in. The EVA midsole and flexible outsole will adapt to your foot's shape over time.
Slight odor developing
Ensure the shoes are properly aired out after wear. The antimicrobial treatment helps, but regular cleaning with a damp cloth will also keep them fresh. Avoid storing them in damp environments.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While the outsole is grippy, performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of any debris that might impede traction. For very slippery conditions, consider alternative footwear.
