FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
The AWE Hiker DWR shoes feature a water-repellent DWR-treated upper, making them suitable for dry conditions or light rain. They are not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy downpours or submersion in water.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are designed for mixed terrains, including trails, gravel paths, and forest floors, offering reliable grip and stability.
How do I clean the shoes?
After removing loose dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap for cleaning. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
What is the weight of the shoes?
The approximate weight of the shoes is 660.0 grams.
Are the materials used in these shoes sustainable?
Yes, the shoes incorporate 100% recycled materials for the laces, polyester strap, lining, and Strobel construction.
What does DWR stand for?
DWR stands for 'Durable Water Repellent', a treatment applied to the fabric that helps repel water from the surface.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are designed to be replaceable. You can use standard hiking shoelaces if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes with appropriate hiking socks for short durations to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not constricting fit.
Feet feel wet in light rain
Check if the DWR treatment has worn off. Clean the shoes and reapply a DWR spray. Ensure laces and tongue are properly secured to prevent water ingress from the top.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris that could impede grip. For very slippery surfaces, exercise caution as no outsole can guarantee perfect traction in all conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hiking shoes require no specific setup. Simply ensure they fit correctly before your first use. It is recommended to wear them for shorter walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking and general outdoor activities. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. Not intended for extreme mountaineering or water sports.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the 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.
- Water Repellency: The DWR treatment may diminish over time. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment spray periodically to maintain water repellency, following the product's instructions.
