FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Altamesa 500 V2 features a breathable textile upper designed for airflow and is not listed as waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While these can be worn on roads, the rubber sole is specifically optimized for trail traction and may wear down faster on abrasive asphalt surfaces.
How should I clean the textile upper?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean, then allow the shoes to air dry away from heat.
What should I do if the size on the box looks wrong?
International shoe sizing varies by region. Always try on the trainers first to confirm the physical fit, as the label may represent US or Euro standards.
Does this model provide arch support?
The design includes a supportive internal structure, but you can replace the existing insole with a custom orthotic if you require specific arch support.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too loose inside the shoe
Use a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle.
Excessive dirt accumulation in the mesh
Wait for the mud to dry completely, then gently tap the soles together and brush away the dried debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before heading out on your first run, ensure you try these trainers on in the evening when your feet are at their largest to confirm a perfect fit. Note that the packaging may display US or Euro sizing rather than the UK size, so verify the fit against your standard footwear size rather than relying solely on the box label. To maintain your shoes, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after every run. If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the synthetic and rubber materials.
