Troubleshooting
Feeling calf tightness during the first few runs
This is common when switching to zero-drop shoes. Gradually increase distance and incorporate calf stretches into your post-run routine.
Material shows surface dust or light staining
Use a damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe the nylon material; avoid harsh detergents which can bleach the grey and white tones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Altra trainers, begin by wearing them for short periods during daily walks before transitioning to full-distance runs, especially if you are new to zero-drop footwear. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the nylon upper using mild soap and cool water; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the adhesive and the mesh. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
