FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy trekking or mountaineering?
The Regatta Regen Hiking Shoes are best suited for day hikes, walking, and general outdoor activities. For more demanding terrains or multi-day treks requiring significant ankle support and rigid soles, a dedicated hiking boot might be more appropriate.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's sizing chart. Trying the shoes on with your usual hiking socks is crucial for assessing the fit before purchasing.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membranes, adhesives, and materials. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and always air dry.
What is the advantage of the ISOTEX MEMBRANE?
The ISOTEX MEMBRANE provides breathable waterproofing. This means it keeps water out from the outside while allowing perspiration (water vapor) to escape from the inside, helping to keep your feet dry and comfortable.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A general guideline is to reapply a waterproofing spray every few months or whenever you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the shoe.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and performance, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, which can hold moisture and lead to blisters.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after use in wet conditions.
Ensure the ISOTEX membrane is intact and the Hydropel treatment is functioning. Check for any tears or damage to the upper. Allow shoes to dry thoroughly between uses. Consider re-applying a waterproofing spray if performance has diminished.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure you have the correct size and are wearing appropriate hiking socks. The shoes may require a short break-in period. Adjust lacing for a more secure but not overly tight fit. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud or debris that may be clogging the tread. Be aware of the limitations of any footwear on extremely slick surfaces; proceed with caution.
Difficulty cleaning the mesh panels.
Use a soft brush with mild soap and water for cleaning the mesh. Avoid harsh detergents. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
