FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane which is designed to keep water out while allowing sweat to escape.
Can I use these for running?
While they are optimized for fast hiking, their lightweight design makes them suitable for trail running, provided you do not require specialized high-stability running geometry.
Do I need to size up?
These shoes follow standard sizing; however, if you plan on wearing thick hiking socks, some users prefer a half-size increase for better comfort.
How do I clean the Continental Rubber outsole?
Use a stiff brush and water to clear mud and rocks from the lug pattern to ensure maximum traction for your next hike.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Ortholite sockliner is removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Adjust the lacing pattern to a "heel lock" style or ensure the laces are tightened securely across the instep before starting the decline.
Water penetrating the shoe
Check the exterior for tears in the ripstop material. If the shoe is clean, re-waterproof the exterior fabric using a technical spray to restore the DWR coating.
Insole becomes uncomfortable
Remove the Ortholite sockliner, wash it separately with mild detergent, allow it to air-dry completely, and reinsert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the laces are tightened securely to lock the heel in place, which prevents internal sliding during steep descents. To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane, avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat, as this can degrade the waterproof bonding. After muddy hikes, remove the laces and brush off dried dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash the shoes using mild soap and lukewarm water; never machine wash, as this may damage the technical fibers and adhesive structures. Always air-dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight or radiators.
