FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?
While they offer good traction and stability, they are primarily designed as trainers with a leather upper. For extensive or technical hiking, dedicated hiking boots might offer more specialized support and protection.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For tougher stains or to maintain the leather's condition, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Always allow the shoes to air dry.
What is the main benefit of the OrthoLite® insole?
The OrthoLite® insole provides excellent cushioning, breathability, and durability, enhancing comfort during long periods of wear.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The Contagrip® outsole offers good traction on wet surfaces, but the leather upper is not fully waterproof. They are suitable for damp conditions but not for prolonged immersion in water.
What does the '10mm drop' refer to?
The 10mm drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. This is a standard drop that promotes a balanced stride and efficient foot mechanics.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Sensifit™ structure is designed for a secure fit. While they aim to accommodate a range of foot shapes, individuals with very wide feet may find the fit snug. Adjusting the laces can offer some flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Contagrip® outsole is clean and free from debris. For older shoes, the rubber may have hardened, potentially reducing grip.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure the Sensifit™ system is not overly tightened. Break in the shoes with short periods of wear initially.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat or prolonged dry conditions.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning of the leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.

- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and ensure laces are in good condition. Apply leather conditioner periodically to keep the upper supple.
