FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating which is water-repellent, meaning they resist light rain and moisture but are not designed for deep water or prolonged heavy rain.
Can I use these for technical climbing?
No, these are designed for hiking on trails. They lack the stiff shank and climbing-specific rubber required for technical climbing or bouldering.
How should I clean the polyester upper?
Use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water. Avoid putting them in the washing machine as this can damage the structural integrity and the DWR coating.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions. We recommend wearing the socks you plan to hike in when trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
These are best for mild, dry, or light-rain conditions. They do not have insulation for deep snow or extreme cold temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Clean the exterior to remove dirt and consider applying a dedicated DWR spray treatment to restore the water-shedding properties.
Accumulation of trail debris in the midsole
Use a soft brush to clear out loose gravel from the outsole lugs and midsole grooves to ensure optimal traction and cushioning.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent traction on mixed terrain
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue
- Highly breathable for warmer climates
- Effective DWR coating for light precipitation
Cons
- Not intended for heavy rain or deep water crossings
- Limited to adult sizing
- Synthetic upper may show wear faster than leather alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before hitting the trails, ensure you have selected your proper UK size for an optimal fit; the polyester upper offers a flexible wrap that accommodates foot swelling during long hikes. To maintain the performance of the DWR treatment, avoid using harsh detergents that can strip the chemical coating. We recommend cleaning the shoes by hand using a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove mud and trail debris. Air dry your shoes naturally in a shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can degrade the midsole foam and the adhesive bonds.
