Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes completely waterproof?

Yes, they feature OutDry technology, which is a bonded, breathable waterproof construction designed to keep water out while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Can I use these for road running?

While they can be used on mixed terrain, the 5mm aggressive lug pattern is specifically optimized for trails and may wear down faster on hard pavement.

How should I clean the OrthoLite insoles?

They are best cleaned by removing them from the shoe and hand-washing with mild soap and cold water, then air-drying.

What is the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM?

It is a lacing system that connects to the midfoot webbing to provide a secure, anatomical lockdown of the foot inside the shoe.

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

They are excellent for slushy, wet conditions, but they are not insulated. For extreme cold, pairing them with thicker wool socks is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Foot feeling restricted or too tight

Adjust the lacing system to be looser across the midfoot, utilizing the NAVIC FIT points for a custom fit rather than overtightening.

Moisture buildup inside the shoe

Ensure you are using synthetic or wool blend hiking socks. Avoid cotton, which traps sweat and prevents the OutDry membrane from breathing.

Loss of traction over time

Check the outsole for mud or debris caked between the lugs; clear them using a stiff brush to restore the effectiveness of the 5mm lugs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof performance in wet conditions
  • Excellent traction on unpredictable trail surfaces
  • Secure midfoot lockdown prevents internal sliding
  • Responsive cushioning for all-day trail comfort
  • Lightweight yet durable construction

Cons

  • Firmer ride compared to plush road-specific shoes
  • Best suited for trail use rather than asphalt
  • Sizing can feel snug due to the midfoot lockdown system

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Peakfreak II hiking shoes, proper care is essential:

  1. Break-in: While the shoes are comfortable out of the box, wear them on short walks before long treks to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and rinse with cool water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the waterproof membrane.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Ensure the laces are loosened when not in use to maintain the integrity of the mesh upper.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes work best with moisture-wicking hiking socks to fully leverage the breathable OutDry membrane.
