FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain or deep water?
The Omni-Tech technology provides waterproof protection, making them excellent for moderate wet conditions like rain showers or shallow puddles. For prolonged submersion or very deep water, specialized waterproof boots might be more appropriate.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing. Consider trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking.
Can I use these shoes for activities other than hiking?
Yes, the versatile design makes them suitable for various outdoor activities such as walking, trekking, and general trail use. Their comfortable cushioning and durable construction support a range of moderate-impact outdoor pursuits.
How often should I clean and treat the suede upper?
Clean the suede as needed, especially after muddy or wet conditions. For optimal care and to maintain water repellency, consider applying a protective spray suitable for suede every few months of regular use, or before extended trips in potentially wet weather.
What is the main benefit of the TechLite midsole?
The TechLite midsole is designed to provide excellent cushioning and shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during long walks or hikes. It also offers high energy return to help propel you forward, contributing to all-day comfort.
Is the Omni-Grip outsole suitable for indoor use?
Yes, the Omni-Grip outsole is described as 'indoor-friendly' and 'non-marking,' meaning it is designed to provide reliable traction without damaging indoor flooring.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the shoes.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced for a snug fit. Check that the Omni-Tech membrane is not compromised. If the shoes have been submerged for extended periods, some water ingress may occur. Allow shoes to dry completely and consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.
Clean the Omni-Grip outsole of any mud or debris, as this can affect grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down. The outsole is designed for varied terrain, but extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.
Suede upper looks worn or stained.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid exposing suede to excessive moisture.
Discomfort or pressure points during wear.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The combination upper may require a short break-in period. Try adjusting the lacing or using different insoles if necessary.

Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede and mesh. For tougher stains or general cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
