FAQs
What makes these trainers sustainable?
The trainers incorporate recycled materials in their construction, including laces, lining, heel and toe reinforcement, and binding. The upper is made from over 80% recycled materials, and they feature a PFC-free finish.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
The Helly Hansen Feathering Trainers are designed for comfort and performance in everyday wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning and grip, they may not provide the specialized support or durability required for intense running or sports.
How do I clean my Feathering Trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Air dry them away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Will the antimicrobial treatment stop all odors?
The antimicrobial treatment helps to prevent odors, but it is not a guaranteed solution for all situations. Proper care, including airing out the shoes and regular cleaning, is still important.
What is a PFC-free finish?
PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals) are often used in waterproofing treatments. A PFC-free finish means the waterproofing is achieved without the use of these potentially harmful chemicals, making the product more environmentally friendly.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are designed for comfort and may be removable in some variations. If removable, you can replace them with your preferred insoles for customized support.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?
The premium EVA midsole provides excellent cushioning, shock absorption, and energy return, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to allow them to break in. Check if the laces are tied too tightly and adjust as needed.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Clean the outsoles to remove any debris that might be reducing traction. The grip is designed for general use; consider specialized footwear for extremely slick or demanding conditions.
Noticeable odor after wear.
Utilize the antimicrobial treatment by airing out the shoes after each wear. Remove insoles and wash them separately if possible. Consider using shoe deodorizers or charcoal inserts.
Upper material shows signs of wear.
Be mindful of activities that could cause excessive abrasion. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or harsh scrubbing.
