Helly Hansen santiago
The Helly Hansen shoes look the most like trainers, and these women’s shoes were very neat, we felt. There is almost no stitching, only around the heel, tongue and around the sole – the rest is seamless. There are no drainage holes, resulting in 400ml of water remaining in the shoe at 1:30. The flexible rubbery sole gave the best wet grip in the women’s test. There is a bit of protection in the toe area, but the softer fabric upper is a bit flimsy. The thick inner sole has been given the antibacterial treatment, creating good cushioning and support.
