FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking as well as running?
Yes, the Tracerocker 2.0 shoes offer good traction and cushioning that can be beneficial for hiking on moderate trails. However, they are optimized for the dynamic movements of running.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The shoes offer some protection against light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. They will handle damp trails, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wet feet. Ensure they are cleaned and dried thoroughly afterwards.
What is the primary benefit of the Traxion outsole?
The Traxion outsole is designed to provide maximum grip across a variety of surfaces, including hard and soft ground, helping to prevent slips and enhance stability during runs.
How does the recycled content in the upper affect performance?
The recycled content is integrated into the upper material in a way that aims to maintain breathability and a comfortable fit, similar to conventional materials, while contributing to sustainability.
What kind of arch support do these shoes offer?
The Tracerocker 2.0 provides standard cushioning through its EVA midsole. They do not feature specific high-arch support technologies; runners requiring specialized arch support might consider using orthotic insoles.
How often should I replace my trail running shoes?
Typically, trail running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning in the midsole. This can vary based on running surface, intensity, and individual wear patterns.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. Consider replacing laces with a type that offers better grip if the issue persists.
Traction feels insufficient on very wet or muddy surfaces
The Traxion outsole is designed for versatility but may have limitations in extremely slick conditions. Clean the outsole treads regularly to ensure optimal grip. For consistently wet and muddy conditions, consider shoes with more aggressive lug patterns.
Discomfort or rubbing after a run
Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If the issue is persistent, break in the shoes with shorter runs.
Midsole cushioning feels less effective over time
EVA foam can lose some of its cushioning properties after extensive use. Ensure the shoes are cleaned and dried properly. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely for a comfortable and supportive fit. Adjust lace tension as needed across the forefoot, midfoot, and ankle for personalized comfort.
Compatibility: Designed specifically for trail running and outdoor activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. While not designed for, they can be worn on paved surfaces for short durations, though their optimal performance is on trails.
Care: To maintain the shoes' condition:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or degrade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage.
