FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane and durable leather construction make them suitable for wet, cold conditions, though they are not specifically insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
Do I need to break these in?
While the shoes are designed for comfort, it is recommended to wear them on a few short walks before attempting a long-distance hike to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never wash leather hiking shoes in a machine as the heat and agitation can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and warp the leather.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant, but the primary waterproof barrier is the internal GORE-TEX membrane. Maintaining the leather helps protect the overall shoe structure.
What is the best way to clean the inside?
Remove the OrthoLite footbed and wipe the interior with a damp cloth if needed, then allow it to air dry fully before re-inserting the footbed.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Check for cracks or dried-out patches on the leather upper and apply a leather conditioner; ensure the tongue is centered and laces are tightened correctly.
Reduced comfort over long periods
Check if the OrthoLite footbed has shifted or flattened; consider replacing with a fresh aftermarket insole if the original has compressed significantly.
Slippery performance on wet rock
Clean the sole thoroughly to remove embedded debris or mud, as clogged tread patterns significantly reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fellmaster Active GTX shoes perform optimally, ensure you select the correct UK size for a snug but comfortable fit, allowing for a medium-weight hiking sock.
Care Instructions:
- Remove mud and dirt with a soft brush after every hike.
- Clean the leather surface with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Periodically apply a leather conditioner or water-repellent treatment specifically designed for hiking footwear to maintain the integrity of the material.
