FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the OutDry waterproof construction provides excellent protection against rain and slush, making them suitable for winter conditions where dryness is key. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold.
How do I clean the synthetic mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
What is the benefit of the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM?
The NAVIC FIT SYSTEM is designed to provide a secure and natural lock-down of the midfoot, enhancing stability and preventing slippage within the shoe during dynamic movements on the trail.
How long does the cushioning from the Ortholite Eco insole typically last?
Ortholite Eco insoles are designed for long-term cushioning and breathability. While lifespan varies with usage, they are engineered to maintain their performance characteristics over extended periods of hiking.
Can I wear these shoes for casual walking?
Yes, while engineered for hiking, the comfort and support features make them suitable for casual walking and everyday wear, especially if you value waterproof protection and good traction.
What is the primary advantage of the Adapt Trax outsole?
The Adapt Trax outsole provides exceptional traction in both wet and dry conditions, featuring specifically designed lugs to ensure grip on varied hiking terrain, enhancing safety and confidence.
What is the difference between Peakfreak 2 and Peakfreak II Outdry?
The 'Outdry' designation specifically refers to the waterproof and breathable membrane technology integrated into the shoe's construction, enhancing its performance in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite claims of waterproofing
Ensure the OutDry membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress from the top. Allow shoes to dry completely and inspect for any holes or tears.
Slipping on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove debris that may hinder traction. The Adapt Trax outsole is designed for wet and dry, but extreme conditions may require caution. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
The shoes may need a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing system is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the mesh upper is not clogged with dirt or debris. Check the insoles for moisture buildup; remove and air dry if necessary. The shoes offer breathability, but heavy moisture from external sources may take time to dissipate.
