FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Accentor Sport 3 GORE-TEX® is designed with a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on before purchasing or check reviews specifically addressing fit for wider feet.
How long does the GORE-TEX® waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX® membrane is designed for long-lasting performance. Proper care and maintenance, including regular cleaning and avoiding damage, will help preserve its waterproof and breathable qualities.
Can I wear these shoes in winter?
These shoes offer excellent waterproofing, which is beneficial in snowy or slushy conditions. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold weather, consider adding warmer socks or looking for insulated winter boots.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
The weight of a single shoe is approximately 660 g.
What is the difference between this and non-GORE-TEX® versions?
The key difference is the inclusion of the GORE-TEX® waterproof and breathable membrane in this model, providing enhanced protection against water and moisture compared to standard versions.
How should I clean the blue colour to keep it looking good?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. After cleaning, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure the shoe's laces are tied correctly to prevent water ingress. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Water may also be entering from the top if submerged. Ensure proper care and drying.
Poor traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the rubber sole of any mud or debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure the shoe is the correct size and fits snugly to allow for proper foot placement and weight distribution.
Discomfort during long walks
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. Consider wearing appropriate hiking socks. If the discomfort persists, a short break-in period on shorter walks may be beneficial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box with no specific setup required. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking and walking on trails and varied outdoor terrain. They are suitable for adult female hikers.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable but avoid puncturing the shoe. Regular cleaning helps maintain its effectiveness. Specific waterproofing sprays are generally not required unless the outer material appears to be losing its water repellency.
