FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, their technical design and features are optimized for hiking and trail use. They can be worn casually, but their full benefits are realized on the trail.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX® membrane?

The GORE-TEX® membrane is part of the shoe's lining. Clean the exterior of the shoe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid soaking the shoes, and always air dry them.

What is the primary advantage of the FloatPro™ Foam midsole?

The FloatPro™ Foam midsole provides a lightweight, durable, and responsive cushioning system designed to enhance comfort and reduce fatigue over long distances.

How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?

Reapply treatments as needed, typically after several cleans or when you notice a decrease in water repellency on the shoe's upper materials. Always use products compatible with GORE-TEX®.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with aftermarket insoles for customized support or fit, provided they are of a similar size and shape.

What is the weight of a single shoe?

The weight specified is 350 grams, which is a very lightweight option for a performance hiking shoe.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping into shoes

Ensure GORE-TEX® membrane is intact and clean. Check laces and tongue for any gaps where water could enter. Re-apply water-repellent treatment if necessary.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole thoroughly as debris can affect traction. The Vibram® outsole is designed for grip, but performance can be degraded by mud or excessive wear.

Discomfort or hot spots during wear

Ensure proper sizing and lacing technique. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before undertaking long distances. Consider different sock materials.

Fraying or damage to upper materials

Avoid extreme abrasion. Clean gently and inspect regularly for any tears or punctures that could compromise the shoe's integrity or waterproofing.

  • Superior cushioning and comfort from the FloatPro™ Foam midsole.
  • Robust underfoot protection against trail hazards.
  • Reliable grip on diverse and technical terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes require no specific setup beyond initial wear to break them in. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before embarking on longer hikes. The lacing system allows for adjustable tension across the foot.

Compatibility:

While designed for hiking, they are compatible with most standard hiking socks. They are suitable for use with various outdoor apparel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. If heavily soiled, wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain GORE-TEX® performance, periodically clean the shoe and consider using a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for GORE-TEX® footwear.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
