FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain and water crossings?
Yes, the Omni-Tech waterproof breathable seam-sealed membrane bootie construction is designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions, including heavy rain and shallow water crossings.
How much cushioning does the Techlite midsole provide?
The Techlite midsole offers superior cushioning and high energy return, providing exceptional comfort and support for long-duration activities.
What type of terrain is best for the Omni-Grip outsole?
The Omni-Grip traction rubber outsole provides enhanced grip and stability on a variety of surfaces, including rocky paths, dirt trails, and wet or uneven terrain.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and materials. Clean them manually with a damp cloth and cool water.
What is the primary material used for the upper part of the shoe?
The upper is constructed from a combination of waterproof suede leather, mesh, and webbing for durability and water resistance.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart and ensure you measure your foot accurately. These shoes are designed for adult women, and this specific model is a UK size 3.
What should I do if the shoes develop an odor?
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. You can also use a fabric refresher spray or a mixture of baking soda and water to clean the insoles. Ensure the shoes are completely dry after cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite claims of waterproofing
Ensure the waterproof bootie construction is intact and not compromised. Check for any tears or damage to the shoe. Make sure laces are tied securely but not so tight they create gaps. Consider if the water ingress is from the top of the shoe if submerged or in heavy rain for extended periods.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the Omni-Grip rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be hindering grip. Examine the tread for excessive wear; if significantly worn, the outsole may need replacement by a professional or consideration of a new pair.
Discomfort or pressure points after wearing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them with different hiking socks. If discomfort persists, consult the retailer or manufacturer for potential fitting issues.
Waterproofing seems to be degrading over time
Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for hiking footwear. Ensure the exterior materials are clean before application. Check the sealed seams for any signs of damage and contact customer support if necessary.
