FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable and versatile, these trainers are specifically engineered for athletic performance on varied terrain. For everyday casual wear, you might consider shoes designed with comfort as the primary focus.

How do I maintain the waterproofing of the GORE-TEX membrane?

Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, helps maintain the membrane's performance. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat, which can damage the material.

Can I use these shoes for road running only?

Yes, you can use them for road running, but their aggressive outsole is optimized for better performance on gravel and trails. On pure asphalt, they may wear faster than road-specific shoes.

What is the main advantage of the Quicklace system?

The Quicklace system allows for fast, one-pull tightening and loosening of the laces, providing a secure and customizable fit that stays in place during activity.

How durable is the outsole for trail running?

The outsole is designed with deep lugs for firm grip and durability on varied trail surfaces, including gravel and packed dirt. Its wear resistance is balanced for mixed-terrain use.

Do these trainers offer arch support?

These trainers provide a stable platform with moderate support suitable for their intended use. For specific arch support needs, consider using aftermarket insoles.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping into shoes

Ensure GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check that laces are properly tied and that water is not entering over the top of the shoe. Clean any debris from the shoe's exterior that could compromise the membrane.

Quicklace system not tightening effectively

Check the lace lock mechanism for debris. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the guides. If the lace cord is frayed, it may need replacement.

Slipping on certain surfaces

The outsole is designed for mixed terrain; performance may vary on extremely polished or wet hard surfaces. Ensure the shoe is laced securely to maximize contact with the ground.

Discomfort or rubbing

The shoe may require a break-in period. Ensure the fit is correct using the Sensifit and Quicklace system. Try adjusting the tension or wearing different sock thicknesses.
