FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

The Adflex Eco shoes are primarily designed for hot-climate travel and warm weather hiking due to their breathable mesh construction. They may not provide sufficient insulation or ankle support for significant winter conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size guide and measure your foot length. It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you intend to wear for hiking to ensure a comfortable fit, especially in the toe box.

What is NosiLife technology?

NosiLife is an integrated, long-lasting insect repellent treatment built into the fabric that helps protect against biting insects.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and materials. Hand wash with mild soap and water as per the care instructions.

How durable is the Vibram Litebase outsole?

Vibram Litebase outsoles are designed to be lightweight yet durable for hiking applications. Regular cleaning and inspection will help maintain their performance and longevity.

What does 'low-rise' mean for a hiking shoe?

A low-rise shoe does not extend above the ankle bone, offering greater freedom of movement and flexibility compared to mid or high-rise boots.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel wet inside despite no external water exposure.

This could be due to trapped perspiration. Ensure you are wearing breathable socks and allow the shoes to air out thoroughly after use.

Laces are difficult to adjust or keep tied.

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the ghillie loops. Consider using a double knot for extra security. If laces are worn, replace them.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Check the Vibram Litebase outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly. For extremely slick conditions, slow down and tread carefully.

Insects are still present despite NosiLife upper.

NosiLife technology offers protection but is not an absolute barrier. Consider using additional insect repellent on exposed skin for maximum protection in high-risk areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for comfort in various conditions.
  • Integrated anti-insect technology for added protection during travel.
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue on long hikes.
  • Durable Vibram outsole provides reliable traction.
  • Uses recycled materials in the insole for sustainability.

Cons

  • Low-rise design offers less ankle support than boots.
  • May not be suitable for extremely rugged or off-trail terrain requiring maximum ankle stability.
  • Mesh upper, while breathable, may be more susceptible to snags than solid materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Craghoppers Adflex Eco Hiking Shoes require no specific setup. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. The ghillie lacing system allows for easy adjustment to secure the shoe to your foot.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for general hiking and hot-climate travel. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. For extended trekking, consider pairing them with moisture-wicking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may wish to apply a suitable waterproofing spray for footwear to maintain the water-repellent properties of the outer materials.
