FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking?

The Gelert Horizon Low Waterproof Walking Shoes are designed for light to moderate trail walks and general outdoor use. While they offer good traction and waterproofing, they are a low-cut design and may not provide the same level of ankle support or ruggedness required for serious, multi-day hiking or challenging mountainous terrain.

How do I ensure the waterproof feature lasts?

Regular cleaning with a soft damp cloth and allowing them to air dry will help maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or harsh chemicals, which can degrade the waterproofing.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks. Cotton socks tend to absorb and hold moisture, which can lead to discomfort and blisters.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The shoes are designed with a standard level of comfort and support for walking. If you require specific arch support, you may consider using aftermarket insoles tailored to your needs.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the waterproof membrane of the shoes. Please clean them with a soft damp cloth as instructed in the care section.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper of the Gelert Horizon Waterproof Walking Shoe is constructed from durable synthetic materials, which contribute to its lightweight nature and waterproof capabilities.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite waterproof claim

Ensure your socks are suitable for wicking moisture away from your feet. While the shoe is waterproof, perspiration can still cause dampness if not managed by appropriate sock material. Also, check for any damage to the shoe's upper that might compromise the waterproof membrane.

Laces frequently come untied

Experiment with different lacing techniques, such as a double knot or reef knot, for a more secure hold. Ensure the laces are pulled taut enough without being uncomfortably tight.

Traction seems reduced over time

Regularly clean the rugged moulded outsole to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or debris that might be impacting grip. Heavy wear can also smooth out tread patterns; consider if the shoes are nearing the end of their lifespan if the tread is significantly worn.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps feet dry in wet conditions
  • Excellent traction on varied surfaces
  • Secure and adjustable fit
  • Comfortable for extended wear
  • Durable construction
  • Easy to put on and take off

Cons

  • Limited ankle support due to low-cut design
  • Synthetic material may offer less breathability than some natural fabrics
  • Not designed for extreme mountaineering or heavy-duty backpacking

Setup: Simply loosen the classic lacing system, slide your foot in using the convenient pull loop, and then tighten the laces for a secure, comfortable fit. Ensure laces are tied firmly to prevent slipping. Compatibility: These shoes are ideal for light to moderate trail walking, casual outdoor activities, and general daily wear in various weather conditions, particularly damp environments. They perform well on gravel paths, grassy areas, and compact dirt trails. Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your Gelert Horizon Walking Shoes, clean them with a soft damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and synthetic materials. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
