FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for varied conditions. However, for deep snow or extreme cold, consider adding insulated socks or boots designed specifically for winter conditions.

How do I choose the correct size?

These shoes are available in UK men's sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the size chart provided by adidas. Trying them on in person is the most reliable way to ensure a proper fit.

Can these shoes be worn for activities other than hiking?

While designed for hiking, their comfort and grip make them suitable for general outdoor activities, walking, and light trail running. They are not intended for highly technical climbing or mountaineering.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoes weigh approximately 460 grams for a size FR 42 2/3.

How durable is the ripstop upper?

The ripstop upper is designed to be resistant to tears and abrasions, offering good durability for hiking and outdoor use.

What is the midsole drop?

The midsole drop is 10 mm, with a heel height of 32 mm and a forefoot height of 22 mm.

How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides lasting waterproofness. Reapplying an external fabric waterproofing spray can help maintain the water repellency of the outer material, especially after cleaning or extensive use.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite waterproof claims.

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or shoe seams. Allow shoes to dry completely after use and ensure they are properly cleaned.

Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces.

Ensure the Continental™ rubber outsole is free from mud or debris that could affect grip. For extremely slick surfaces, hike with caution, as no outsole offers infallible grip.

Discomfort during long hikes.

Verify the shoes are laced correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the socks worn are appropriate for hiking. Consider that the LIGHTMOTION EVA midsole may require a short break-in period.

Outer material appears worn or scuffed.

Light scuffs are normal for hiking shoes. For deeper damage to the ripstop upper, consult a shoe repair specialist. Regular cleaning can prevent dirt from exacerbating wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance with GORE-TEX.
  • Superior grip on various surfaces thanks to Continental™ rubber.
  • Comfortable cushioning from the LIGHTMOTION EVA midsole.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding trails.
  • Lightweight design for reduced fatigue.

Cons

  • Fit may vary; trying them on is recommended for best results.
  • Ripstop upper, while durable, may require specific cleaning methods.
  • Primarily designed for hiking, may not be ideal for highly technical mountaineering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These hiking shoes require no assembly. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male foot sizes. The standard fit aims to accommodate a wide range of foot shapes. Compatibility with specific orthotics is not specified, but the removable sockliner might allow for some adjustments.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: After use, brush off loose dirt. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Cleaning the GORE-TEX Membrane: The membrane itself requires minimal care. Ensure the shoe is clean externally to prevent clogging of its pores.
  3. Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  4. Waterproofing Maintenance: While the GORE-TEX is inherently waterproof, applying a suitable footwear waterproofing spray periodically can help maintain the outer fabric's water repellency.
