Full details
The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR is built for male outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, lightweight shoe for mixed terrain hiking. It excels at balancing comfort and stability through its advanced cushioning and multi-directional grip technologies, though users should note that the water-repellent DWR treatment is intended for light rain rather than full submersion or heavy downpours.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, they feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating which is suitable for light rain and damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof or submersible.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
These are designed for breathability, so they are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn hiking. They may be too cool for freezing winter temperatures.
How should I clean the muddy outsole?
Use a stiff-bristled brush under running water to clear mud and debris from the lug patterns to maintain traction.
Are the outsoles non-marking?
Yes, they feature non-marking rubber outsoles, making them suitable for casual wear as well as trail use.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from polyester, which provides a balance between durability and lightweight breathability.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Ensure you are using a secure double-knot and inspect the recycled laces for fraying that might cause slippage.
Reduced water repellency over time
Dirt and dust can mask the DWR coating. Clean the upper thoroughly and re-apply a DWR-specific spray treatment.
Foot discomfort or hot spots
Check your lacing tension and ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks, not cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure you break in your new hiking shoes on shorter walks before heading out on long excursions to ensure the fit is optimized for your foot shape. Use the included recycled laces to achieve a snug, secure lockdown without cutting off circulation. To clean your shoes, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after every hike. If the shoes become muddy, hand-wash them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid soaking them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the DWR treatment. To maintain the water-repellent properties, consider applying a re-proofer spray specifically designed for DWR-treated synthetic fabrics after thorough cleaning. Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the foam and bonding agents.
