{"product_id":"norda-055-thistle-shoes-mens","title":"Norda 055 Thistle Shoes (Men's)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 005 was already hard to argue with. Norda looked at it anyway and said \"let's do even more\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMore stack. More lug. More lockdown. The 055 is the rowdy sibling with the same bloodline butdifferent disposition. Where the 005 proved itself as a lightweight racer, the 055 takes every ingredient that made it work and turns up the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe upper\u003c\/strong\u003e is pure Norda: 100% bio-based Dyneema, now with a wider weave for better breathability and faster water escape when the trail goes sideways. New to the 055 is a custom knit collar; a three-quarter height sock-like bootie that dials in lockdown and keeps debris outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe midsole\u003c\/strong\u003e is 100% Arnitel TPEE, a foam that delivers high energy return in a very stable, plateless base. The stack gains 5mm over the 005, landing at 38mm at the heel with a 7mm drop. No carbon plate. Just pure foam feedback and trail feel, stacked high enough to run all day without wrecking your legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe outsole\u003c\/strong\u003e is Vibram Megagrip Elite; Norda's exclusive, same as the 005, same Formula One-inspired grip compound. The lug pattern is a throwback: same 5mm depth and configuration as the original 001, which means serious bite on loose terrain, scree, and anything wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWeight comes in around 8.2 oz (men's size 9), which, given the stack height, is pretty unreasonable. In the best way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is a max-cushion trail racer that doesn't need a carbon plate to justify the price. It needs Dyneema, Arnitel, and Vibram Elite to justify it and it has all three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 055 runs about maybe a 1\/4 size smaller than the 005, more akin to the 001A fit. We recommend you add a 1\/2 size up from your normal size - size the same as the 001A.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Norda Size Chart\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2091\/3261\/files\/Norda-Size-Chart.pdf?v=1689272047\"\u003eMore help with sizing here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan class=\"headline\"\u003eSize Chart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"indent-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2091\/3261\/files\/Screen_Shot_2022-06-29_at_12.10.35_PM.png?v=1656526250\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Norda","offers":[{"title":"8","offer_id":47880677589097,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":47880677621865,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":47880677654633,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":47880677687401,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":47880677720169,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":47880677752937,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":47880677785705,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5","offer_id":47880677818473,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":47880677851241,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12.5","offer_id":47880677884009,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13","offer_id":47880677916777,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14","offer_id":47880677949545,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15","offer_id":47880677982313,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2091\/3261\/files\/unnamed-76.png?v=1786214990","url":"https:\/\/skiuphill.ca\/products\/norda-055-thistle-shoes-mens","provider":"SkiUphill | RunUphill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
