Developed for four-times world record holder Fiona Oakes, and built to take the most extreme running environments she's raced — from the Sahara Desert to the North Pole. The Oakes Cross Running Trainers were made for rugged trail running.
The Vibram® injected rubber outsoles carry 32 arrow-shaped 5mm lugs, widely spaced to bite into soft ground and shed mud as you move — traction on all terrain. The sole is direct-injected, moulded and fused straight onto the upper in one process, so the two won't part easily, and there's no shank — the cushioned midsole provides the structure and support, keeping the shoe light and flexible.
The uppers are Lyliane® 3DMX vegan nubuck by Lorenzi, Italy, with ballistic mesh panels (100% PU / 100% nylon) — abrasion and scuff-resistant to take the punishment of trail running, water-resistant for everyday wear and breathable with it. Inside, a breathable sports mesh lining (100% polyester) keeps air moving to help feet stay cool.
The speed lace system with a toggle lock means one pull for a fast, snug fit, no tying needed — with a storage pouch on the tongue to tuck the toggle and lace ends away. Underfoot, removable contoured PU sports insoles follow the shape of your foot for cushioned, supportive comfort.
Neutral gait. D width fitting.

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 mould 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.
