FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These shoes have a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on before purchasing or to consider shoes specifically designed for wider fits.

What is the primary benefit of the Continental™ rubber outsole?

The Continental™ rubber outsole provides exceptional grip on both wet and dry surfaces, enhancing stability and confidence on varied terrain.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?

Clean the GORE-TEX membrane by wiping the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Regular cleaning helps maintain its breathability and waterproofing.

What is the midsole drop, and why is it important?

The midsole drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot (10 mm in this case). It influences your foot's natural posture and can affect comfort and running biomechanics.

Can I use these for heavy backpacking trips?

While durable and supportive, these are primarily designed as lightweight hiking shoes. For very heavy loads or technical mountaineering, consider a more robust boot.

How much do these shoes weigh?

The shoes weigh approximately 460 grams for a size FR 42 2/3.

What does 'ripstop upper' mean?

Ripstop is a fabric weaving technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. It involves reinforcing the fabric with stronger threads at regular intervals.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite being waterproof.

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is clean. Sweat can also cause dampness; consider moisture-wicking socks. Check laces are not too tight, restricting circulation.

Grip feels reduced on certain surfaces.

Clean the Continental™ rubber outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be hindering traction. Ensure the terrain is within the shoe's intended performance limits.

Midsole feels too firm after initial wear.

The LIGHTMOTION EVA midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter walks initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Upper material feels stiff.

This is normal for ripstop uppers, which are designed for durability. Continued wear will naturally soften the material. Avoid excessive flexing during storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These hiking shoes require no assembly and are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproofing.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane's performance, periodically clean the shoes thoroughly. Avoid using wax-based products, as they can clog the membrane's pores.
