FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Noosa TRI 16 is designed for high-mileage and endurance performance, making it a viable option for marathon distance.
Can I use these for speed work?
Absolutely. The lightweight construction and responsive foam make them excellent for interval training and tempo runs.
Does the shoe provide stability control?
No, this is a neutral trainer. It does not contain specific medial posts or dense foam for overpronation control.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then let air dry. Avoid using a washing machine.
Are the laces standard?
The shoes come with standard laces, but the design is optimized for quick transition setups if you choose to swap for elastic triathlon laces.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
The shoe is a neutral design. If you require arch support, consider replacing the factory sockliner with a custom orthotic insole.
Accumulated debris inside the mesh
Use a compressed air duster to blow out fine grit or sand from the mesh holes after running on dusty trails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Noosa TRI 16 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the structural integrity of the `FF BLAST PLUS` foam and the adhesive bonds.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove dirt from the mesh upper and outsole.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp or discolor.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct athletic socks during your fitting to avoid slippage or friction points.
- Storage: Keep in a well-ventilated area to allow moisture from sweat to evaporate, preventing odor and bacterial growth.
