Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, the Gore-Tex technology provides waterproofing which is beneficial in snowy or wet winter conditions. However, they are not insulated winter boots, so consider adding warm socks for very cold temperatures.

How do I know if my UK size 8 is the right fit?

The UK size 8 should feel snug and supportive. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should not lift excessively when walking.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?

Yes, the ACG Mountain Fly Low Gore-Tex has a versatile design and colorway that makes them suitable for casual wear, especially if you anticipate encountering various weather conditions.

What is the main advantage of Gore-Tex in these shoes?

The primary advantage is maintaining a dry and comfortable environment for your feet by preventing external water from entering while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

How often should I reapply the DWR finish?

This depends on usage and environmental exposure. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up on the shoe's outer fabric. Typically, this might be after several washes or extended use in wet conditions.

Are there other color options available for this model?

Yes, the Nike ACG Mountain Fly Low Gore-Tex comes in various colorways. Please check other listings or the manufacturer's website for the full range.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite Gore-Tex

Ensure the shoe's exterior is clean and treated with a DWR finish. Water soaking into the outer fabric can make it seem like the membrane is failing. Check for any damage to the Gore-Tex layer or ensure laces and upper are not allowing water entry.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that might be clogging the treads. If the outsole appears worn, it may be time to consider replacement or a new pair of shoes.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before embarking on long hikes. Check that the laces are tied correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit.

  • Reliable performance backed by the ACG series.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These hiking shoes require no specific setup; they are ready for use out of the box. They are compatible with standard outdoor apparel and gear.

Care Instructions: To maintain the Gore-Tex membrane's performance and the shoe's overall condition:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. If more thorough cleaning is needed, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Washing: For a deeper clean, you can hand wash with a mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  4. Waterproofing Treatment: Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to the exterior fabric to ensure water beads off the surface. Follow the product's specific instructions.
