FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear or just hiking?

While designed for hiking, their robust construction and comfort features can make them suitable for general outdoor activities. However, their aggressive tread might be less ideal for hard, flat surfaces like city pavements over long periods.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A proper fit should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes. Your heel should not lift excessively when walking. Trying them on with the type of socks you'll hike in is recommended.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the waterproof Gore-tex membrane. Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap as per the care instructions.

What is the primary benefit of the advanced CHASSIS?

The advanced CHASSIS provides enhanced stability and support, particularly on uneven terrain, helping to guide your foot and protect it from impacts, thereby reducing fatigue.

How durable is the leather material?

The leather upper is chosen for its durability and abrasion resistance, making it well-suited for the rugged demands of trail hiking and providing long-lasting protection.

Will my feet stay dry in wet conditions?

Yes, the integrated Gore-tex membrane provides reliable waterproof protection while remaining breathable, keeping your feet dry from external moisture and internal sweat.

How often should I re-condition the leather?

It's best to condition the leather periodically after cleaning, especially if the shoes are frequently exposed to wet or dry conditions. Use a product specifically designed for outdoor footwear leather that is compatible with waterproof membranes.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short walks initially and gradually increase the duration to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.

Water ingress despite Gore-tex lining

Ensure the shoe is properly laced and the tongue is correctly positioned to prevent water entry. Check for any damage to the Gore-tex membrane or seams. Clean the exterior thoroughly; sometimes debris can affect seals.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces

Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the lugs. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear; if severely worn, traction may be compromised.

Laces are difficult to adjust or keep tied

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Consider replacing the laces with a pair designed for better grip if they tend to slip. Double-knotting can also help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stability due to the advanced CHASSIS.
  • Superior grip on diverse terrain thanks to Contagrip®.
  • Robust protection for feet with reinforced heel and toe caps.
  • Waterproof and breathable Gore-tex membrane for dry comfort.
  • Durable leather upper suitable for demanding trails.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort.
  • The fit might be too specific for some foot shapes.
  • Heavier than minimalist trail running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready for use out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a proper fit. The lacing system allows for quick adjustments to achieve optimal tightness.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult male hikers looking for robust trail footwear. They pair well with standard hiking socks and outdoor apparel.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
  3. Waterproofing: The Gore-tex membrane is durable, but to maintain its performance, periodically clean the shoe's exterior. For leather care, consider using a specialized leather conditioner after cleaning, ensuring it's compatible with waterproof membranes.
