Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day hiking?
Yes, the EVA midsole provides cushioning for comfort during extended wear, making them suitable for all-day day hikes on moderate terrain.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not slip excessively when walking.
Can I use these in heavy rain?
The CLIMAPROOF technology offers water resistance for protection against wet weather and light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours or deep water, specialized waterproof boots may be more appropriate.
What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?
Moisture-wicking hiking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends are recommended to complement the shoe's performance and enhance comfort.
How often should I clean the shoes?
Clean the shoes after particularly muddy or dirty hikes. Regular brushing to remove surface dirt is beneficial. Deep cleaning is recommended as needed based on usage and conditions.
What is the main advantage of the CLIMAPROOF technology?
CLIMAPROOF provides a barrier against moisture, helping to keep your feet dry from external wetness while allowing some breathability.
Can these shoes be resoled?
Typically, shoes of this type are not designed for resoling. It is generally more cost-effective and practical to replace them when the outsole wears down significantly.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite CLIMAPROOF.
Check for damage to the CLIMAPROOF membrane. Ensure laces are tied correctly to prevent water ingress. The shoes are water-resistant, not fully waterproof for submersion. Condensation can also build up inside; ensure good ventilation and moisture-wicking socks.
Traction feels inadequate on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole tread to remove mud or debris that can impede grip. Ensure you are not exceeding the shoe's intended use (e.g., very slick, icy, or muddy conditions). Consider alternative footwear for extremely slippery environments.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Break them in gradually with shorter walks before undertaking longer hikes. Adjust lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Consider wearing thicker or different types of hiking socks.
Midsole feels too firm or lacks cushioning.
The EVA midsole is designed for a balance of cushioning and responsiveness. If more cushioning is desired, consider using aftermarket insoles. Ensure the shoes have been properly broken in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. Adjust the laces to achieve a secure but not overly tight fit before your first hike.
Compatibility:
Suitable for a variety of outdoor activities including day hiking, walking, and general outdoor use. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. Not recommended for technical climbing or extreme off-road conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
