FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking in very cold weather?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and some insulation, but these shoes are primarily designed for three-season use. For extreme cold, consider insulated winter boots.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and other materials. Hand wash using mild soap and water as described in the care instructions.
What is the main advantage of the Continental™ Rubber outsole?
The Continental™ Rubber outsole provides exceptional grip and durability, ensuring reliable traction on a wide variety of surfaces, wet or dry.
How often should I replace the hiking shoes?
The lifespan of the shoes depends on usage frequency, terrain, and care. Look for signs of wear on the outsole, midsole cushioning, and upper materials. Typically, they should be considered for replacement after significant mileage or visible degradation.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
The EVA midsole offers general support and cushioning. For individuals requiring specialized arch support, it is recommended to use aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX membrane
Ensure laces are tightened properly to prevent water ingress. Check for any physical damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Moisture can also come from sweat; consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the Continental™ Rubber outsole with water to remove mud or debris that may be hindering traction. Check the outsole for significant wear, which may require replacement of the shoes.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the lacing system for a more customized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Shoes smell after use
Remove insoles and air dry shoes after each use. Use a mild soap and water solution to clean the inside if necessary, and ensure they are thoroughly dried before storage.

Care:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents, as they can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can degrade the materials.
