FAQs
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for moderate to technical trails, including dirt paths, rocky terrain, and forest singletrack. They are designed for off-road use.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 features a nylon upper which offers breathability but is not fully waterproof. They provide some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for submersion in water.
How does the Fresh Foam X cushioning perform?
The Fresh Foam X cushioning provides a soft, lightweight, and responsive feel, offering excellent shock absorption for comfort during long distances on varied terrain.
What is the difference between these and road running shoes?
These trail trainers have a more aggressive outsole for grip on uneven surfaces and often feature more protective upper materials compared to road running shoes, which are optimized for smooth pavement.
How do I know if the UK 5.5 size is right for me?
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.
Can I use these for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, their trail-specific design and aggressive outsole might not be ideal for everyday casual wear on hard surfaces, as it can lead to faster wear of the outsole tread.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels inadequate on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. For very slick conditions, exercise caution and consider terrain suited to the shoe's capabilities.
Discomfort during or after a run/hike.
Verify the fit is correct (UK 5.5). Ensure socks are appropriate for trail activities. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter distances if they are new.
Upper material showing signs of wear.
Inspect for potential snags from trail debris. Clean gently and ensure proper drying to maintain material integrity. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you try them on to confirm the UK 5.5 fit is correct for your foot before embarking on activities.
Compatibility: Designed for trail running and hiking. While they offer comfort, their specialized outsole may wear faster on abrasive pavement and are not optimized for road running.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
