The Norda 005 is built for the rigors of trail running and challenging outdoor conditions. Its combination of features makes it an ideal choice for athletes tackling technical trails, rocky paths, and unpredictable surfaces.
Unrivaled Traction: The Vibram Megagrip Elite sole is your best friend on slippery roots, loose gravel, and wet rocks. You can expect reliable grip, allowing you to maintain speed and confidence across varied landscapes.
Lightweight Agility: With Bio-Dyneema® uppers and 4mm Dyneema® laces, the shoe feels incredibly light on your feet. This translates to less fatigue over long distances and greater agility when navigating quick changes in direction.
Secure Comfort: The 005 Fit-Lock System cradles your foot, preventing unwanted movement inside the shoe, which is crucial for preventing blisters and maintaining stability during descents or traverses. The perforated tongue ensures air circulation, keeping your feet from overheating.
Adaptable Support: The inclusion of two footbeds means you can customize your experience. Use the Molded Arnitel® TPEE Insole for its robust support during long training runs, and switch to the lighter footbed when you want to shave off every possible gram for race day performance.
Trail Running: Excels on technical trails, providing the grip and stability needed for challenging ascents and descents.
Ultradistance Racing: The lightweight construction and adaptable support make it suitable for long-duration events where every gram and ounce of comfort counts.
Varied Terrain Training: Ideal for training on mixed surfaces, from dirt paths to rocky climbs, preparing you for race day conditions.
Setting up your Norda 005 shoes is straightforward:
Lacing: Ensure the 4mm Dyneema® Laces are securely tied to engage the 005 Fit-Lock System for optimal foot lockdown.
Footbed Selection: Choose the appropriate footbed based on your activity. Use the Molded Arnitel® TPEE Insole for daily training runs for enhanced support. For race days, swap to the lighter, additional footbed for reduced weight.
These shoes are designed for:
Terrain: Best suited for uneven, challenging, and technical trail environments.
Activity: Primarily designed for running, particularly trail running and endurance events.
User: Optimized for adult male athletes seeking high-performance footwear.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Norda 005 shoes:
Cleaning Uppers: Gently brush off loose dirt. For stubborn marks on the textile and synthetic upper, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Sole Cleaning: Remove any trapped debris from the Vibram Megagrip Elite sole using a brush or stick.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
