FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of hiking?
These shoes are best suited for mixed terrains and moderate hiking conditions. They offer good grip and water repellency for dry paths and light rain, but may not be ideal for extreme conditions, heavy snow, or very technical mountaineering.
How do I clean the shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What does DWR treatment mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep your feet dry in light rain or damp conditions.
Are the materials eco-friendly?
Yes, these shoes are made with a significant amount of recycled materials, including 100% recycled laces, polyester strap, lining, and Strobel construction.
What is the weight of the shoes?
The weight of the shoes is approximately 660.0 grams.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced. They are made from 100% recycled polyester.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and performance, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from synthetic materials or wool. This helps manage moisture and prevent blisters.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the shoes with your typical hiking socks for a better fit assessment. If still uncomfortable, try a different size or consult the sizing guide.
Reduced water repellency
The DWR treatment may need reapplication. Clean the shoes thoroughly and apply a suitable DWR waterproofing spray following the product instructions.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Trail Grip outsole is clean from mud or debris. For very slick surfaces, exercise caution, as no outsole is entirely slip-proof.
Material feels stiff after drying
Avoid drying near heat sources. If stiffness persists, you can apply a leather conditioner if applicable (check material composition), or wear them to naturally soften the material.
