FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The shoes feature a seamless mesh upper and NAVIC FIT SYSTEM for a secure fit. While designed for a natural midfoot lockdown, the fit may vary. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult size charts carefully.
How do I clean the insoles?
The insoles are the OrthoLite Eco type. They can usually be removed. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
What is the primary benefit of the Techlite+ midsole?
The Techlite+ midsole is engineered to provide responsive underfoot cushioning, superior comfort, and enhanced stability, particularly on uneven trail surfaces.
How deep are the lugs on the outsole?
The outsole features hike-specific traction with 5mm lug heights, designed to provide grip on various hiking terrain.
Can these shoes be used in very cold weather?
While waterproof and breathable, these shoes are primarily designed for hiking in moderate conditions. They offer protection against rain and slush but may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme cold without additional thermal socks.
What does 'OutDry' waterproofing mean?
OutDry is a construction method that creates a waterproof, breathable barrier integrated into the shoe's upper, preventing water from entering while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The Techlite+ midsole is designed for long-term cushioning and responsiveness. Longevity depends on usage intensity and frequency, but it is engineered for durable performance on trails.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claim.
Ensure the shoe's laces are tied snugly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any punctures or damage to the OutDry membrane. Allow shoes to dry completely and inspect for any potential issues.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear.
This is common with new hiking shoes. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM provides a comfortable lockdown without being too tight. Consider using appropriate hiking socks.
Slipping on certain surfaces.
The Adapt Trax outsole provides excellent traction, but extremely slick surfaces like polished wet stone may still pose a challenge. Ensure the 5mm lugs are clear of mud or debris which can impede grip.
