The Gelert Horizon Low Waterproof Walking Shoe is designed for adults seeking comfort and protection during trail walks, outdoor errands, and wet conditions. Its key features include a waterproof membrane and a rugged outsole, ensuring your feet stay dry and secure on varied surfaces. While highly effective for general outdoor use, it's important to note that its low-cut design offers limited ankle support compared to dedicated hiking boots.

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