FAQs
What type of terrain is the Stinson 7 best suited for?
The Stinson 7 is designed for versatility, performing exceptionally well on both paved roads and varied trail conditions, including gravel and packed dirt. It's often referred to as a 'road-to-trail' shoe.
How much cushioning does the Stinson 7 offer?
The Stinson 7 offers maximum cushioning with its plush foam midsole, designed to provide a soft and comfortable feel during prolonged wear and impact absorption.
Is the Stinson 7 suitable for hiking?
Yes, the Stinson 7 is well-suited for hiking due to its cushioning, supportive H-Frame technology, durable toe cap, and multi-directional lug outsole for traction.
Can I wear the Stinson 7 for everyday walking?
Absolutely. The exceptional comfort and cushioning make it an excellent choice for everyday walking, especially if you spend a lot of time on your feet.
What does the '4mm drop' mean?
A 4mm drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. This is a relatively low drop that promotes a more natural foot strike and gait.
How do I clean my Stinson 7 shoes?
Gently clean the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth and wipe down the midsole and outsole. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Stinson 7 features an engineered jacquard mesh upper, which is breathable but not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation and comfort, not for full submersion.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check lacing to adjust tightness across the foot. Consider trying a different size if the issue persists.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the multi-directional lugs offer good grip, extremely wet or slick surfaces may require slower speeds. Ensure outsole is clean of mud or debris for optimal performance.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, check lacing and ensure the shoe is the correct fit for your foot shape.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and mud from the engineered jacquard mesh upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
