FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane provides effective waterproofing for rain, but ensure you wear appropriate waterproof gaiters if the water level is higher than the ankle collar.
Can I use these for road running?
While they are comfortable, they are specifically tuned for hiking and trail performance. The lugs on the outsole will wear down faster if used primarily on asphalt.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use lukewarm water and a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach.
Are they true to size?
They generally fit true to size for most adults, though if you prefer wearing thicker hiking socks, some users prefer sizing up by half.
Does the Continental rubber leave marks on indoor floors?
The Continental rubber is designed for trail use and may leave marks on indoor surfaces; it is recommended to use them outdoors.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite Gore-Tex
Check that water is not entering through the top of the ankle collar and ensure the laces are tightened properly.
Developing odors inside the shoe
Remove the Ortholite insoles and wash them separately with mild soap and water; allow them to dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, ensure the shoes are laced comfortably to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise. For ongoing maintenance, remove excess mud after each use with a soft brush. If the interior becomes damp, remove the Ortholite sockliner and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the Gore-Tex membrane. Avoid machine washing, as the detergent and high-heat cycles can damage the structural adhesives and waterproof coatings.
