FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit of these shoes is generally considered standard. While the QuickLACE system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them restrictive. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I clean the Energy Foam midsole?
The midsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using abrasive cleaners.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While they offer a dynamic and cushioned feel suitable for walking and hiking, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, specialized trail running shoes would offer more appropriate features and protection.
What is the main advantage of the QuickLACE system?
The QuickLACE system provides a fast, secure, and one-handed way to tighten and loosen your shoes, making adjustments quick and easy, even while on the move.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when you walk.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather provides a degree of water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to very wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather hiking footwear.
What terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for mixed terrain, including asphalt, gravel paths, and moderate hiking trails. They offer adaptable grip for transitions between these surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening securely
Ensure the QuickLACE knot is fully engaged. Check for any debris in the lace lock mechanism. If the lace cord is frayed, it may need replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust the QuickLACE tension for a more precise fit. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for mixed terrain; very slick or muddy surfaces may reduce optimal grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris, which can impede traction.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner or specific shoe care product designed for hiking boots to restore moisture and suppleness. Do this after cleaning and ensure the product is suitable for the type of leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Simply lace them using the QuickLACE system by pulling the laces tight and tucking the excess into the lace pocket on the tongue. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit before starting your hike.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male foot sizes, specifically UK 6 in this variant. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. While versatile for mixed terrains, they are best suited for hiking trails, gravel paths, and light off-road use, rather than technical mountaineering or extreme winter conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
- 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 leather and adhesives.
- Waterproofing: For enhanced water resistance, consider using a leather-specific waterproofing treatment periodically, especially after deep cleaning or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
