Full details

FAQs

Is the Hurricane 26 GTX suitable for trail running?

These shoes are primarily designed for road use. While the waterproof membrane is helpful, the outsole pattern is optimized for pavement and hard surfaces.

How do I know if I need a stability shoe?

Stability shoes are generally recommended for runners who experience inward rolling (pronation) of the foot or who find they need extra support during long runs.

Does the GORE-TEX make the shoe feel hot?

The membrane is designed to be breathable, but as with all waterproof shoes, they will retain slightly more heat than standard mesh trainers.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and the bonding adhesives of the midsole. Always clean by hand.

What is the primary difference between this and the standard Hurricane 26?

The GTX version includes the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, making it significantly better for running in rain and wet conditions.

Does the 41mm stack height affect balance?

While the stack is high, the shoe is engineered with a stable base to offset the height, providing a secure feel despite the extra cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Moisture buildup inside the shoe

While GORE-TEX is breathable, heavy perspiration can accumulate. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic socks rather than cotton.

Feeling of instability or rocking

Ensure the laces are snug, particularly through the midfoot, to secure the shoe's stability features against your foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weatherproofing via GORE-TEX technology
  • Superior impact protection with max-cushioning foam
  • Provides reliable stability for longer road runs
  • Breathable construction despite waterproof properties

Cons

  • High stack height may feel bulky for some runners
  • Limited to road surfaces rather than technical trails
  • Heavier feel compared to minimal racing flats

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Hurricane 26 GTX, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear them for short, 30-minute walks before transitioning to full-distance runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after wet runs. If the interior gets wet, remove the sockliner and stuff the shoe with newspaper to absorb moisture; avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the foam and membrane.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the GORE-TEX waterproof barrier.
  4. Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the toe box for optimal comfort during long-distance training.
