FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter running?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and helps keep feet warm in cold, wet conditions. However, for very icy conditions, additional traction solutions might be needed.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
You can clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the membrane. For best results, rinse with cool water and allow to air dry.
Can I use these trainers for road running?
While primarily designed for trails, their versatile outsole offers adequate grip for occasional road use. For dedicated road running, shoes with a smoother, road-specific tread would be more efficient.
What is the primary benefit of the QuickLACE system?
The QuickLACE system offers a fast, secure, and easily adjustable fit, allowing you to tighten or loosen your laces with one hand, which is convenient during runs.
How durable is the reinforced toe cap?
The reinforced toe cap is designed to withstand impacts from rocks and trail debris, providing protection and enhancing the overall durability of the shoe's front.
What size should I order if I'm usually a UK 13.5?
This specific model is available in UK 13.5. However, shoe fit can vary between brands and models. It is always recommended to try them on if possible, or consult the brand's specific sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening securely
Ensure the QuickLACE toggle is fully engaged. Check for any debris caught in the lacing system that might prevent a smooth adjustment. If laces appear frayed, they may need replacement.
Water ingress despite GORE-TEX
Confirm that the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and that water is not entering through the shoe opening or lace area. Ensure the shoe has completely dried after previous use. Prolonged submersion can eventually lead to moisture, but typical wet conditions should be managed.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove packed mud or debris that could impede traction. Inspect the tread pattern for excessive wear. If worn, the outsole may need replacement or the shoes considered for retirement.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the QuickLACE system is adjusted correctly – not too tight or too loose. Consider the socks being worn, as thickness can affect fit. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs.

Compatibility: Designed for trail running, these shoes are compatible with various surfaces including dirt trails, gravel paths, rocky terrain, and even light road sections. They are suitable for adult male runners.
Care: To maintain the waterproof properties and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, remove insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Washing: Hand wash with cool water and mild soap if necessary. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
