FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for winter snow?

While the Thinsulate lining and water-resistant upper offer warmth and protection from dampness, they are not designed as snow boots. For deep snow or icy conditions, specialized winter footwear with enhanced grip and waterproofing is recommended.

How do I maintain the water-resistant treatment?

The water-resistant treatment can be maintained by periodically reapplying a compatible waterproofing spray to the upper. Always check the product instructions for the best results.

What type of surfaces does the outsole provide good traction on?

The 400NBS rubber outsole with reverse lug tread is designed for optimal traction on a variety of surfaces, including wet pavement, gravel, and general urban terrain.

Can I wear these trainers with thick socks?

Yes, you can wear these trainers with thick socks. The Foam Lite 2 insole provides comfort, and the overall design accommodates various sock thicknesses for added warmth in colder weather.

What is the primary benefit of the 3M Thinsulate lining?

The 3M Thinsulate lining provides excellent thermal insulation, helping to keep your feet warm in colder temperatures by trapping body heat.

Are these trainers considered lightweight?

The trainers feature a Foam Lite 2 insole, which is designed for lightweight cushioning. The overall weight is balanced for comfort and durability.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water resistance

Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray designed for footwear to the upper.

Slipping on certain surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris, as this can affect traction. For persistent issues, consider the surface type might be inherently less grippy.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The Foam Lite 2 insole provides cushioning, but individual comfort can vary.

Lining feels too warm

These trainers are insulated for warmth. For warmer conditions, consider alternative, unlined footwear.

Care:
