How to measure your foot
Follow these easy steps to find the perfect size for you. For the best fit, we recommend measuring your feet wearing the socks you run in.
-
Stand on a piece of paper lengthwise. While in a standing position, mark horizontal lines where the tip of your longest toe lands as well as where the end of your heel is.
-
Measure the heel-to-toe distance to find your foot length.
The 001A is engineered with the lightest and strongest materials for mindless comfort on mindful pursuits. Optimally-cushioned ultra distance shoe equipped with a proprietary Arnitel® TPEE midsole that demonstrates benchmark resiliency, strength and mechanical property retention, along with the world’s first seamless Dyneema® upper and an exclusive Vibram® soleplate for unparalleled performance and durability.
- Unrivaled Durability
- Optimal cushioning
- All terrain

How does the 001A fit?
The 001A runs slightly small. Most runners size up ½ size. If you’re between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one.
The toe box is naturally shaped to allow for toe splay, while the midfoot and heel provide a secure, performance lockdown.
Will the 001A work for wider feet?
Yes. The 001A accommodates wider forefeet thanks to its anatomical toe box. While not classified as a “wide” shoe, many runners with slightly wider feet find it comfortable.
Will the 001A work for narrower feet?
Yes. The 001A offers secure lockdown through the midfoot and heel, ensuring that wearers with narrow feet will be both secure and comfortable.
Does it have a wide toebox?
Yes. All norda footwear has an anatomical toebox to allow for natural foot splay.
Is the 001A good as a daily trainer?
Yes. The 001A is optimally cushioned for ultra distances while remaining responsive enough for daily training or race efforts. Its Dyneema upper, Arnitel TPEE midsole and Vibram outsole ensure that it’s durable, protective, supportive and grippy across any surface.
Is the 001A good for technical terrain?
Yes. The 001A’s Dyneema upper, Arnitel TPEE midsole and Vibram outsole ensure that it’s durable, protective, supportive and grippy across all types of terrain, including technical terrain.
What are the differences between the 001A and the 001?
The 001A is an upgraded and updated version of our foundational 001. It features a new Arnitel TPEE midsole that offers increased comfort, responsiveness, and energy return, all without a break-in period.
Is it suitable for long distances?
Yes. The 001A is optimally cushioned for ultra distances while remaining responsive enough for daily training or race efforts.
It’s our most versatile, do-everything model.
Are norda 001A shoes waterproof?
The standard 001A is water-resistant. Dyneema® is hydrophobic and does not absorb water, but the woven construction allows airflow and drainage.
If you need additional protection, the 001A G+ offers waterproofing rated to 10,000mm.
Are norda 001A shoes good for winter running?
Yes. The traction, durability and cushioning of norda shoes makes them an excellent option for winter running. For extreme conditions, the 001 G+ Spike is ideal. It’s a winterized version of our foundational 001 model equipped with durable carbide steel spikes that provide traction on snow and even ice.
How durable is the upper on the 001A?
The bio-based Dyneema® upper is engineered for extreme abrasion resistance.
By weight, Dyneema® is up to 15x stronger than steel and significantly more durable than traditional mesh or knit uppers. Durability is one of the defining features of the norda shoes.
What is Dyneema® and why does it matter?
Dyneema® is the world’s strongest and lightest fiber. It’s up to 15x stronger than steel by weight, meaning that a pound of Dyneema is 15 times stronger than a pound of steel.
Dyneema® delivers exceptional abrasion resistance, cut resistance, and long-term durability, without adding weight. Compared to traditional mesh or knit uppers, it maintains structure and performance far longer, which directly contributes to the 001A’s longevity and cost-per-wear advantage.
What makes the Vibram® outsole different?
The 001A features a custom Vibram® outsole developed exclusively with norda.
Vibram®, founded in 1937 in Italy, is widely regarded as the leader in high-performance rubber compounds. Our proprietary Vibram® formulation balances grip, durability, and traction across wet rock, loose terrain, and hardpack — ensuring consistent performance in varied trail conditions.
How long will the 001A last?
It depends on how hard you are on your shoes and the conditions you play in. norda footwear is put through rigorous lab testing and trail running before final production, and built with the finest materials available to ensure its longevity and durability.
As a general guideline, running shoes should be replaced around 700 km (500 miles).
However, many norda athletes exceed 1,600 km (1,000 miles) in their 001A while maintaining performance. Longevity and durability are key reasons customers cite norda’s lower cost per wear compared to traditional trail shoes.
Can I use my own orthotic insole?
Yes. All norda insoles are removable. Simply replace the stock insole with your custom orthotic.
Can I use the 001A for lifestyle/casual wear?
Yes. Although the 001A is designed for trail running performance, the same qualities that make it excellent for off-road running — cushioning, support, fit, durability — translate well to the demands of daily, casual wear.
What is the difference between the 001A, 002, 003, 005, and 008?
The 001A is the workhorse model of the norda lineup, an optimally-cushioned ultra distance shoe capable of daily training efforts and racing alike. The 001A features an upgraded midsole with Arnitel TPEE foam for greater responsiveness and energy return.
The 002 is made for those who prefer a low-to-the ground, precision feel on technical terrain. By lessening the distance between you and the earth, it provides confident footing in uneven environments.
The 003 is a laceless approach shoe designed to transition seamlessly between hiking, scrambling and running.
The 005 is the lightest, fastest, most stable super shoe ever crafted for trail runners. Its durability means it’s engineered to serve you across multiple race days, and redefine what trail running race day super shoe should feel like.
The 008 is a recovery slide engineered with premium materials and technology for an unparalleled comfort experience. It has a Vibram soleplate.
