FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a specialized waterproof membrane designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions while still allowing moisture to escape.

Can I use these for winter hiking?

They are suitable for damp and mild conditions, but they are not insulated for extreme cold or deep snow.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

You should have enough room to wiggle your toes comfortably. With hiking shoes, it is often recommended to have about a half-inch of space at the front.

Are the materials recycled?

Yes, the Speed Strike 2 incorporates a variety of recycled materials to support a more sustainable design approach.

How do I maintain the waterproof coating?

Regularly clean debris from the surface and avoid using harsh detergents that can strip away protective treatments.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels uncomfortable or shifts

Remove the EVA footbed, ensure it is clean and flat, and re-insert it properly to ensure it sits flush with the base of the shoe.

Odour buildup despite treatment

Ensure the shoes have sufficient time to air out between uses; remove the footbed after every hike to accelerate the drying process.

Slipping inside the shoe

Ensure your laces are tightened securely at the ankle and consider wearing mid-weight hiking socks for better volume control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box with no significant break-in period required for most users. To ensure longevity, keep the following tips in mind:

  1. Cleaning: After muddy hikes, allow the mud to dry before brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush.
  2. Leather Care: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the leather upper. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the leather.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the rubber components to become brittle over time.
  4. Footbeds: The EVA footbed is removable, allowing you to air them out or swap them for orthotics if required.
