FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR shoes feature a water-repellent DWR treatment on the upper, making them resistant to light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and are not designed for submersion or heavy downpours.

What type of terrain are these shoes best for?

These shoes are designed for mixed terrains, including forest trails, gravel paths, and moderate inclines. The HH Trail Grip outsole provides reliable traction on these surfaces.

How should I clean my hiking shoes?

Remove loose dirt with a brush. Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Do these shoes contain recycled materials?

Yes, the shoes incorporate 100% recycled materials in their laces, strap, lining, and Strobel construction, contributing to sustainability.

What is the purpose of the HH Flow foam midsole?

The HH Flow foam midsole provides cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing comfort during hikes and reducing foot fatigue.

Can I use these shoes for heavy trekking or mountaineering?

These shoes are optimized for general hiking and trail walking. For extreme conditions, heavy trekking, or mountaineering, specialized footwear with more robust support and protection would be more appropriate.

How do I maintain the water-repellent feature?

The DWR treatment may diminish over time. You can restore or enhance its performance by applying a suitable water-repellent spray designed for outdoor footwear after cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods at home to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

Clean the outsoles to remove any debris that might be trapped in the treads. The DWR treatment is less effective on very slick, wet surfaces; for extreme conditions, consider alternative footwear.

Feet feel damp after hiking in light rain

The DWR treatment offers resistance, not full waterproofing. For sustained wet conditions, waterproof socks may be necessary. Ensure the shoe tongue is properly positioned to prevent water ingress from the top.

Soles are accumulating mud

Clean the outsoles after each use with a brush or a stream of water to maintain optimal grip.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For tougher grime, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Water Repellency: To maintain the DWR treatment's effectiveness, consider reapplying a suitable water-repellent spray periodically, especially after thorough cleaning.
