Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers are designed for the active adult seeking a lightweight, versatile shoe for everyday wear and light activities. Their key benefit lies in their eco-conscious construction combined with comfort and grip. A potential consideration is their performance during high-impact sports, for which they are not specifically designed. These trainers feature a premium EVA midsole for cushioning, a flexible outsole for traction, and a significant portion of their upper is made from recycled materials, including laces, lining, and reinforcements.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running long distances?
The Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers are designed for lightweight, versatile use and daily comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact, long-distance running.
What does 'PFC Free' mean for these trainers?
PFC Free means that the product does not contain Perfluorinated Chemicals. These chemicals are often used in outdoor gear for waterproofing but can be harmful to the environment. Choosing PFC-free products supports environmental sustainability.
How much of the shoe is made from recycled materials?
Over 80% of the upper part of the Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers is made from recycled materials. This includes the laces, lining, toe and heel reinforcement, reinforcement tape, collar reinforcement, and the strobel construction.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the recycled materials. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?
The premium EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to the overall comfort of the shoe during wear.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to a standard UK sizing chart. For the Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers, size 8.5 UK is listed for this specific model. Ensure your foot measurements align with the chart for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff initially
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods to break them in, allowing the materials to conform to your foot.
Slight odor after prolonged wear
The antimicrobial treatment helps, but for persistent odors, remove the insoles (if removable) and air them out. A light wash with mild soap and water can also be effective, followed by air drying.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce effectiveness. Exercise caution on very slippery surfaces.
