FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. While the 3D Memo Foam offers some adaptive comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on in person is recommended.
How waterproof is the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides high levels of waterproofing and breathability, designed to keep your feet dry from external moisture like rain and puddles while allowing perspiration to escape.
Can I use these for backpacking trips?
These shoes are primarily designed for day hikes. While they offer good support and durability for lighter loads, they may not provide sufficient ankle support or cushioning for extended backpacking trips with heavy packs.
What is the benefit of terracare® leather?
Terracare® leather is known for its high quality, durability, and sustainable production process. It offers excellent stability and breathability while meeting strict environmental standards.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
Re-waterproofing frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It's generally recommended to reapply treatment when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or after significant cleaning, typically once or twice a year for regular use.
What UK shoe size is equivalent to a US size?
Sizing can vary between brands. For Mammut, it is best to consult a detailed size chart provided by the manufacturer or retailer, as there isn't a universal direct conversion.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not compromised. Check that laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress from the top. Allow boots to dry completely and consider reapplying waterproofing treatment.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
This may indicate a break-in period is needed. Wear the shoes for short durations around the house to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Check the Vibram sole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the sole is significantly worn, professional assessment or replacement may be needed.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner or waterproofing treatment designed for hiking footwear. This will restore suppleness and protect the material.
