- Are these shoes actually waterproof?
- Yes. The upper uses a waterproof membrane, so rain and splashes stay out. Water can still enter over the collar in deep puddles.
- Can I use them for both the gym and running?
- Yes. The neutral foam midsole and rubber outsole work for lifting, cardio machines and road runs. Lifters who want a flat, firm platform may prefer a dedicated training shoe.
- How does the 8 mm drop feel?
- It is a middle-of-the-road drop that suits most neutral runners. It sits between low-drop shoes that load the calves and high-drop shoes that push you onto the heel.
- Do they fit true to size?
- Most owners report true-to-size fit in normal width. If you wear thick socks or have wide feet, consider going up half a size.
- Are they good for trail running?
- They handle light trails, gravel and wet grass. The rubber outsole is not aggressive enough for technical, muddy terrain.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of shoes. Insoles are included; socks and other accessories are not.
