FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The Pallarider Lo Track Trainers are designed for urban environments and light outdoor exploration. While the Vibram® outsole offers good traction, the low-cut design means they are not ideal for challenging or rugged hiking trails that require significant ankle support.
How do I clean the suede material?
For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly and brush to restore the nap. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insole is 100% polyester and is removable. You can replace it with your own custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles for added comfort or support.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram® outsole?
The Vibram®-patented outsole provides exceptional abrasion resistance, superior traction, and enhanced durability, ensuring reliable performance on various terrains.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are constructed with a mix of materials including suede, nylon, and mesh. They are not designed to be waterproof but offer some resistance to light moisture. For wet conditions, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What is the heel height?
The heel/outsole height is 54mm, contributing to the shoe's rugged profile and cushioning.
What material is the lining made of?
The lining material is 100% polyester, designed for comfort and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if a different insole might improve fit.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For persistent issues, the rubber compound may have aged, or the surface may be exceptionally slippery.
Suede material looks dull or stained
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stains, consult a suede cleaning guide for appropriate methods and products, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair of suitable length and material. This is a standard maintenance task for laced footwear.
