Developed for four times world record holder Fiona Oakes.

The Vibram rubber injection outsoles provide super grippy traction and durability. The ballistic welded uppers created with Lyliane 3DMX advanced abrasion resistant materials can take the punishment of trail running.

Carbon neutral, vegan and ethically made.

Upper
Lyliane® 3DMX vegan nubuck by Lorenzi, Italy, with ballistic mesh panels (100% PU / 100% nylon) – abrasion and scuff-resistant, PFC and PFA free, built to take on the trail
Lining
Breathable sports mesh lining in 100% polyester – an open mesh that keeps air moving to help feet stay cool and fresh
Insole
Removable contoured PU sports insole – shaped to follow your foot for cushioned, supportive comfort
Outsole
Vibram® injected rubber outsole – deep multi-directional lugs grip on mud, rock and loose ground, with a defined heel brake for control on descents
Laces
100% polyester
Shank
No shank – the cushioned midsole provides the structure and support, keeping the shoe light and flexible the way a sneaker should be
Hardware
Speed lace system with a toggle lock – pull once for a fast, snug fit, no tying needed, with a storage pouch on the tongue to tuck the toggle and lace ends away
Construction
Direct-injected sole – the sole is molded and fused straight onto the upper in one process, a technique used in performance and sports footwear. It creates a strong, fully sealed bond with no glue line for water to work into, keeping the build light, durable and ready for hard use
Water Resistance
Water-resistant for everyday wear – keeps you dry in rain, puddles, wet streets, and most winter conditions. Just avoid heavy saturation or full submersion.

Clean: Brush off dry dirt with a soft brush, then wipe the vegan leather panels and outsoles with warm soapy water and a cloth. For the mesh, use a soft brush or cloth with warm soapy water, working gently so you don't fuzz the weave, and dab away the soap with a clean damp cloth. Remove the laces first and wash them separately by hand. Never put your sneakers in the washing machine. Drying: Take out the insoles and let both sneakers and insoles dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators and direct heat. Stuffing them with paper helps hold the shape and draw moisture out of the mesh. Give them a day or so to dry fully inside before wearing again. Deodorizing: Don't let your sneakers stay damp between wears, as this can let microbes develop and cause smells — especially in a mesh shoe that's worked hard. If a smell develops, dry them fully and use a footwear deodorizer until it clears. The removable insoles can be taken out and aired between wears, which goes a long way on its own. In extreme cases, wash the insides and insoles with warm soapy water, dry thoroughly, and reapply the deodorizer. Insoles: The removable PU sports insoles take the most moisture and impact, and can lose their cushioning over time. They lift out for airing or cleaning, and can be replaced with a fresh pair when they've done their miles. Mud & trails: If they come back from a run or trail properly muddy, let the mud dry first, brush it off dry, then clean as above — it's easier and kinder to the mesh than washing wet mud through it.

Break-in Time
You should find these comfy straight out of the box.

We've made this chart to help you choose the right size. You'll need your foot length measurement to get started. Once you've found your perfect fit with us, you can typically select the same size for all other models.

Fit and comfort notes:

  • Width and volume: our footwear is designed with a slightly wider D width fitting, offering more width and volume than most brands.
  • Materials: we use high quality vegan leather and suede. These materials are stable and won't stretch out significantly over time, so we recommend sizing up for comfort.
  • The perfect fit: you don't want the shoes to pinch your feet. You should have wiggle room for your toes and no rub points.
  • Feel: in most cases you'll find our footwear is comfy straight out of the box. Depending on the style or your foot shape, it can sometimes take a few wears for the uppers to soften and mold to your feet.

How to take your foot length measurement

  • Stand on a hard surface with your heel against a wall.
  • Measure your foot from the heel (the wall) to the longest point of your toes.
  • Use this number to find your size in the chart above.

It is helpful to measure both feet, as one foot is often slightly larger than the other. Always choose the size that accommodates your longest foot.
