FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, thanks to the GORE-TEX® membrane, these shoes offer optimized waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for wet and varied weather conditions. For extreme cold or deep snow, you might consider insulated boots.

How much do these shoes weigh?

A pair of these shoes weighs 778g.

Can I use these for trail running?

While they offer a lighter profile than traditional boots, they are designed as hiking shoes, prioritizing stability and protection over the lightweight flexibility typically found in dedicated trail running shoes. They are best suited for hiking and walking.

What type of terrain are these best for?

These shoes excel on varied terrain, including country paths, muddy trails, rocky ground, and uneven mountain paths, thanks to their Vibram® XS Trek outsole, supportive shank, and stiff toe cap.

How do I ensure the GORE-TEX® waterproofing lasts?

Regular cleaning to prevent dirt buildup is key. Also, applying a GORE-TEX® safe Durable Water Repellent (DWR) spray to the outer fabric periodically can help maintain its water-shedding properties, especially after prolonged use.

What is the material composition of the upper?

The upper is constructed from robust mesh, PU coated leather, and synthetic nubuck.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX® waterproofing.

Ensure gaiters are worn correctly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for physical damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane or outer fabric. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric.

Slipping on wet or muddy surfaces.

Clean the Vibram® outsole thoroughly to remove embedded mud or debris that might be reducing grip. Evaluate if the shoe's tread pattern is appropriate for the specific trail conditions you are encountering.

Discomfort or rubbing during long hikes.

Verify you are wearing appropriate, moisture-wicking hiking socks. Re-tie laces to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit. For new shoes, ensure they are adequately broken in on shorter walks before attempting long hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply lace up your Hedgehog GORE-TEX Hiking Shoes to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure laces are tied securely to provide optimal foot stability, especially before tackling uneven terrain.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for adult males (UK size 9 for this specific variant) and are suitable for a wide range of hiking activities, from light walks to more challenging hill and mountain trails. They are compatible with standard hiking socks and gaiters for added protection in extreme conditions.

Care

To maintain the performance and longevity of your shoes:

  • Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials, especially the leather and GORE-TEX® membrane.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX® provides inherent waterproofing, regular cleaning and occasional application of a GORE-TEX® safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment can help maintain the outer fabric's water repellency.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Refer to Care Label: Always consult the specific care label inside your shoes for detailed instructions specific to the materials and construction.
