Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The product description does not specify width options. It is recommended to try them on or check with a retailer for specific fit information regarding width.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt. For stubborn mud, use cool water and a mild soap, then rinse and air dry.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the point of sale. Please refer to your purchase documentation for details.
Can these shoes be worn in hot weather?
The GORE-TEX® membrane provides waterproofing and breathability. While breathable, they are primarily designed for hiking in conditions where waterproofing is beneficial. For very hot and dry conditions, lighter, non-waterproof shoes might offer better ventilation.
What is the difference between Accentor Sport 3 and Accentor Sport 3 GORE-TEX®?
The Accentor Sport 3 GORE-TEX® features an integrated waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® membrane, making it suitable for wet conditions, whereas the standard Accentor Sport 3 may not offer the same level of waterproofing.
What type of socks should I wear with these hiking shoes?
It is recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from materials like wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, which can retain moisture and lead to blisters.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the shoes
Check if the GORE-TEX® membrane has been compromised (e.g., by excessive abrasion or damage). Ensure laces are tied to keep water from entering the top. Allow shoes to dry completely and consider cleaning to remove any blockages in the membrane's breathability.
Poor traction on slippery surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean; mud or debris can reduce grip. The sole's tread pattern is designed for moderate terrain; on extremely slick or icy surfaces, specialized footwear might be required.
Discomfort during long hikes
While designed for comfort, ensure the correct size and fit. Consider wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be suited for your specific foot shape or the intensity of your hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These hiking shoes require no specific setup. Simply ensure they fit correctly before your first use. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking and general outdoor activities. They are suitable for adult women. Ensure your UK size matches your foot measurement for optimal fit.
Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX® waterproofing and the integrity of the shoes:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, use cool water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor footwear to refresh the water-repellent properties of the outer materials, although the GORE-TEX® membrane itself is a permanent feature.
