FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane that makes the shoes waterproof while remaining breathable.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Skychaser Ax5 features a regular fit; if you have wide feet, you may want to try them on with your preferred hiking socks to ensure adequate room.
How do I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper cleaning. Avoid using a washing machine.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics or specific aftermarket insoles.
Is the mid-cut better than a low-cut shoe?
Mid-cut shoes offer superior ankle stability, which is often preferred for rugged terrain or when carrying a heavy backpack.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Check that the shoe is properly laced to prevent water from entering at the ankle, and ensure the Gore-Tex membrane is clean of internal salt build-up from sweat.
Discomfort or rubbing around the ankle
The mid-cut collar may require a brief break-in period; try wearing slightly thicker socks or adjusting the lace tension in the top eyelets for a more flexible fit.
Slipping inside the shoe during descents
Use a 'heel lock' lacing technique to better secure your heel into the back of the shoe, preventing forward foot slide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pair these shoes with moisture-wicking hiking socks of appropriate thickness. Since the shoes feature a mid-cut design, pull the tongue forward while tightening the laces to ensure a smooth, pressure-free fit over the instep. After use in muddy or dusty conditions, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the waterproof membrane. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the effectiveness of the protective overlays. Periodically check the laces for wear and ensure the outsole lugs are free of impacted debris to maintain optimal grip on the trail.
