FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for trail performance. For everyday wear, consider shoes with less aggressive tread patterns.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Always refer to the UK sizing information. It is advisable to try the shoes on before purchase or check detailed sizing charts if buying online.
Can I run on the road with these?
These trainers are primarily designed for off-road trails. While they can handle short stretches on pavement, they are not optimized for road running and may wear down faster.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but its effectiveness can be maintained by proper care and avoiding damage. Regular cleaning helps preserve its properties.
What is the main advantage of the GTX model?
The 'GTX' designation signifies the inclusion of GORE-TEX, providing enhanced waterproof protection and breathability, making them ideal for wet conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar thickness.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoe.
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check for damage to the upper or sole. Make sure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top.
Poor traction on wet surfaces.
Clean any mud or debris from the outsole's tread pattern. The specific grip is optimized for trail conditions; performance on highly polished or extremely slick surfaces may vary.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Wear appropriate hiking or running socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs or walks.
Shoes feel stiff.
This is common with new waterproof footwear. Wear them for progressively longer periods to allow the materials to flex and conform to your foot.
