FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They are suitable for mild to moderate conditions, but the footwear is not specifically insulated for deep snow or extreme sub-zero temperatures.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the waterproof membrane of the shoe; please clean them by hand.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long hikes.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Does the waterproof membrane make the shoes hot?
The membrane is breathable to a degree, but waterproof materials generally retain more heat than non-waterproof mesh alternatives, making them ideal for temperate to cool climates.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Adjust the lacing pattern to a heel-lock style to secure the ankle and reduce internal movement.
Waterproofing appears less effective over time
Clean the exterior to remove dirt buildup that can clog pores, and consider applying a spray-on DWR treatment if the surface fabric stops beading water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fastpack shoes last through many seasons, begin by ensuring you have the correct size and allow for a gradual break-in period before embarking on multi-day expeditions.
Care Instructions:
- After each use, remove loose dirt by tapping the soles together or using a soft-bristled brush.
- If the shoes are muddy, wipe them clean with a damp cloth.
- Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
- Ensure the laces are securely fastened to maintain proper structural support during active use.
