FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running only?
No, these shoes are specifically designed for mixed terrain, excelling on gravel and asphalt. While they can be used on roads, their outsole and design are optimized for varied surfaces.
How do I clean the Gore-Tex membrane?
Gently clean the membrane with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Regular cleaning helps maintain breathability and waterproofing.
What is the main benefit of the Gravel Contagrip® outsole?
The Gravel Contagrip® outsole provides enhanced grip and seamless transitions specifically on gravel and paved road surfaces, ensuring stability and confidence on these terrains.
Can I wear these shoes in heavy rain?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane provides waterproof protection, making them suitable for running in heavy rain and wet conditions, keeping your feet dry.
What type of cushioning do these shoes offer?
They feature the optiFOAM² midsole, which is designed to provide soft landings and responsive cushioning, giving you a comfortable and energetic feel with each step.
How should I dry my shoes if they get wet?
Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
What is the primary advantage of the chevron lugs?
The deep, multi-directional chevron lugs offer excellent traction on soft surfaces such as mud or loose dirt, allowing for confident grip when transitioning between different types of ground.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through shoes
Ensure laces are fully tightened and the Gore-Tex membrane is clean. Check for any visible damage to the shoe material or seams. Allow shoes to dry completely and re-test.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt or debris. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear. The Contagrip® outsole is designed for mixed terrain; performance may vary on highly specific surfaces.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size and fit. Adjust lacing technique. Wear appropriate running socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs.
Shoes feel stiff
Allow for a break-in period. Many running shoes, especially those with waterproof membranes, can feel initially stiffer. Consistent wear will help them conform to your foot.
