FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the quickLACE™ system?
The quickLACE™ system allows for fast, secure, and one-pull tightening and loosening of the laces, making it easy to put on and take off the shoes, and adjust the fit quickly on the go.
How does the OrthoLite® sockliner contribute to comfort?
The OrthoLite® diecut sockliner provides additional cushioning, enhances breathability to keep feet dry, and offers good moisture management for long-lasting comfort.
What type of terrain is the Mud contaGRIP® outsole best for?
The Mud contaGRIP® outsole is engineered for maximum grip on various surfaces, particularly excelling on wet, muddy, or soft ground due to its aggressive lug pattern.
Can these trainers be used for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, these trainers are specifically designed for performance in outdoor activities. They can be worn casually, but their features are optimized for hiking and trail running.
How should I choose the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart, as UK sizing can differ from other international standards.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof features. They are designed for breathability and grip in varied conditions, but not necessarily for full water submersion or heavy rain protection.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen properly
Ensure the quickLACE™ toggle is fully disengaged before attempting to adjust. Check for any debris obstruction in the lacing system.
Discomfort or rubbing after wearing
Verify the sizing and ensure the quickLACE™ system is adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before extended use.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove mud or debris that may be clogging the lugs. The Mud contaGRIP® is designed for excellent traction but can be compromised by excessive buildup.
Soles feel stiff
The EnergyCell midsole provides firm support. If stiffness persists after initial wear, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for added cushioning and comfort.
