Coast Runner

The Coast Runner is a sneaker for walking, not racing. We made it for people who walk to work, spend weekends on their feet and want one pair that looks as right in the city as on a gravel path.

Materials

• Knit mesh upper from recycled polyester, about eight plastic bottles per pair
• Suede-look overlays at the toe, heel and eyelets in recycled microfiber
• Removable footbed in cork and natural latex
• Gum outsole in natural rubber with a shallow tread that does not pick up stones

Fit

True to size with a medium width and a padded, sock-like collar. If you wear thick socks or are between sizes, take the half size up. A single shoe in men’s US 9 weighs 10 oz. The laces are recycled cotton and there is a spare pair in the box.

Care

Knock off dry dirt and wipe the upper with a damp cloth and a little soap. You can wash the laces and footbeds by hand. Do not put the shoes in the machine or on a radiator: heat softens the glue that holds the sole. Moss hides dust well; chalk wants a wipe every week or two.
