Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Sizing: Ensure you select the correct size, as trail running shoes often require a bit more room in the toe box. The UK size 9 is available in this variant.
- Lacing: Use the layflat gusseted tongue and secure the laces for a snug fit. Adjust the laces as needed to find the optimal balance between comfort and support.
- Break-in Period: It is recommended to wear the shoes on shorter runs initially to break them in and get accustomed to the feel and fit.
- Cleaning: After each run, remove any dirt or debris from the outsole and upper. Clean the shoes with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat, to maintain their shape and integrity.
