FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While they can handle occasional road transitions, they are optimized for trails; long-term road use may cause premature wear on the aggressive lugs.

How should I clean the exterior?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the waterproofing membrane.

Is the Gore-Tex lining permanent?

The waterproof properties are highly durable, but performance depends on proper care and keeping the upper free from salt and dirt buildup.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Most users find they fit true to size, but consider a half-size larger if you plan to wear thick, thermal hiking socks.

Are these shoes stable for technical terrain?

Yes, the wide base and firm outsole provide excellent stability, though the high stack height is designed more for comfort than ground-feel.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe despite Gore-Tex

Check that your socks are not soaking up water at the ankle cuff, as moisture can wick down into the shoe from the top.

Accumulation of mud in lugs

The deep lug pattern is designed to shed debris; however, if mud is thick, rinse the soles under low-pressure water after use.

Hot spots or blisters

Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot; a heel-lock lacing technique can help if you experience excessive heel slip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weatherproofing for wet environments
  • High-traction outsole performs well on varied terrain
  • Substantial cushioning reduces joint fatigue
  • Rugged build quality ensures long-term durability

Cons

  • Gore-Tex membrane can reduce breathability in hot climates
  • Higher stack height may feel less stable on extreme side-slopes
  • Heavier than minimalist trail racing shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, ensure you choose the correct size for your foot type, as the structured fit provides significant lockdown. The ACG Zegama GTX is compatible with standard trail running socks; moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool blends are recommended to enhance the moisture management of the shoe. To maintain the life of your trainers, remove excess mud after every use using a soft brush. If the interior gets wet, air-dry the shoes in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can damage the Gore-Tex membrane and foam adhesives.
