Daily Trail Runs: Perfect for your regular training loops on local trails, providing comfort and protection.
Moderate Technical Trails: Capable of handling trails with some roots, rocks, and elevation changes due to their stable platform and grip.

Getting started with your Runfalcon 5 TR shoes is straightforward:
Lacing: Simply thread the laces through the eyelets and tie them securely. Adjust the tension to achieve a comfortable yet snug fit that prevents your foot from sliding inside the shoe.
Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for a short walk before your first run to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
User: Designed for adult males, offering a regular fit suitable for a wide range of foot sizes (available in UK 11, among others).
Terrain: Best suited for off-road and trail running. The outsole is optimized for natural surfaces like dirt, gravel, grass, and light mud.
Weather: The water-repellent upper performs best in dry to lightly damp conditions. Not recommended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep water.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your running shoes:
Cleaning: After each run, especially if muddy, wipe off dirt and mud with a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on heaters or in direct sunlight, as this can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and materials of the shoes, compromising their performance and lifespan.
