FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane offers excellent waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for varied conditions. For very cold or snowy conditions, consider adding thermal socks and ensuring the shoes are adequately insulated for your needs.
What is the weight of these hiking shoes?
The shoes weigh approximately 370 grams for a UK size 5.5.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is enough room to wiggle your toes comfortably when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when walking. It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically hike in.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for hiking performance. For daily wear, you might find lighter or less structured shoes more suitable, but they can be worn casually if preferred.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 10 mm, with the heel measuring 32 mm and the forefoot 22 mm.
How durable is the ripstop upper?
The ripstop fabric is designed to be highly resistant to tearing and ripping, making it durable for rugged outdoor use. Overlays further enhance this durability and support.
How should I clean mud off the shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For stubborn mud, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off before drying.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into shoes despite GORE-TEX.
Ensure laces are tied properly to seal the tongue area. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or shoe material. Clean the shoe exterior as dirt can impede waterproofing.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Continental Rubber outsole of mud and debris. Worn-out tread can reduce grip; consider replacement if tread is significantly degraded.
Discomfort or hot spots during hikes.
Ensure proper lacing technique to distribute pressure evenly. Try different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, the shoe's fit might not be ideal for your foot shape; consider a break-in period or a different model.
Shoes feel stiff after getting wet.
Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct heat. Once dry, the flexibility should return. Mild conditioning for leather components (if any) can help maintain suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for shorter walks initially to break them in.
Compatibility:
Designed as hiking shoes, they are best suited for outdoor activities such as trekking, trail walking, and light mountaineering. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow 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.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check the GORE-TEX membrane's integrity. While it's durable, avoid puncturing the material. Specific waterproofing sprays for GORE-TEX footwear can be used according to product instructions if needed.
