FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Altamesa 500 v2 offers good cushioning for long runs. However, for dedicated marathon training, individual preference for cushioning and support may lead some runners to seek specialized marathon shoes.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to The North Face sizing chart and measure your foot. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary between brands and models.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the cushioning and structural integrity of the shoes. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the main benefit of the DREAM midsole?
The DREAM midsole is designed to provide lightweight cushioning, helping to reduce impact forces on your feet and joints during running.
How durable is the Surface CTRL™ outsole?
The Surface CTRL™ outsole is engineered for durability and traction. Regular use will eventually lead to wear, but it is designed to withstand typical running mileage.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for typical foot widths. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them snug. It is advisable to try them on or check reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-lace, ensuring a comfortable fit. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if socks are too thick.
Reduced traction on surfaces
Ensure the Surface CTRL™ outsole is free from debris or mud. Excessive wear may reduce traction; inspect the outsole for significant damage.
Discomfort during runs
Check the lacing for even pressure distribution. Ensure the padded collar is sitting correctly around the ankle. Break in the shoes with shorter runs before attempting longer distances.
