FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These trainers are designed for a standard fit. While the upper construction offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them less comfortable. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I use these for road running?
While the cushioning and support make them usable on roads, they are optimized for trail running. The lugged outsole provides superior grip on trails and may feel different or wear faster on hard pavement.
What is the primary benefit of the Charged Cushioning® midsole?
The Charged Cushioning® midsole uses compression-molded foam to provide a highly responsive feel and excellent durability, absorbing impact effectively on uneven terrain.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be comfortably snug.
What does the 8mm offset mean?
The 8mm offset refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This is considered a moderate offset, suitable for many neutral runners, providing a balance of cushioning and ground feel.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is made from durable rubber and features technical trail lugs specifically designed for longevity and traction on varied trail surfaces, including mud and ascents/descents.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers feature an engineered mesh upper for breathability, which means they are not waterproof. They are designed to allow moisture to escape, keeping feet cooler.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. The molded sockliner may take a few runs to fully conform to your foot.
Lack of traction on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the outsole lugs are clear of mud or debris. The technical trail lugs are designed for grip, but heavy buildup can impede performance.
Feet feel hot or sweaty.
The engineered mesh upper provides ventilation, but in very warm conditions, ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to dry thoroughly between uses.
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning over time.
The Charged Cushioning® midsole is designed for durability, but like all cushioning, it will eventually wear down. Consider replacement after significant mileage based on terrain and usage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to use right out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first run. Use the standard tie lacing system to secure them to your preference.

Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt and mud with a dry brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Never machine wash or dry these trainers. Stuff them with newspaper or a towel to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
