FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit lining that provides waterproof protection.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove dirt. Apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather in good condition.

Can I use these shoes for running?

While these shoes are designed for hiking, they can be used for light trail running. However, they are optimized for walking and hiking, not speed.

What kind of socks should I wear?

You can wear any hiking socks or moisture-wicking socks for comfort.

What is the warranty on these shoes?

Please refer to the Altra Running warranty policy.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking into the shoe.

Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX lining. Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that water is not entering through the top. If the issue persists, the lining may be damaged, and you should consider a repair or replacement.

Excessive wear on the outsole.

Replace the shoes if the tread is significantly worn down, as this reduces traction. Regular use on abrasive surfaces accelerates outsole wear.

Discomfort in the toe box.

If you are not used to Altra's FootShape design, you may need time to adjust. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thicker socks or insoles to fill the space if needed.
