Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR is a versatile hiking shoe designed for outdoor enthusiasts who require reliability across mixed terrains. It provides excellent comfort and stability through its HH Flow foam midsole and robust traction system, making it an ideal choice for park walks and trail explorations. While the DWR-treated upper offers effective protection against light rain, it is important to note that these shoes are water-repellent rather than fully waterproof, meaning they may not be suitable for deep puddles or heavy downpours.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, these shoes are water-repellent. They are designed to withstand light rain and damp conditions but will allow water to penetrate if submerged in deep water.
Can I use these for technical climbing?
These shoes are designed for hiking on mixed terrain. They are not suitable for technical rock climbing or steep mountain scrambling.
How should I clean the shoes?
Wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing to protect the structural integrity and the DWR coating.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, breathable polyester.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit is standard, but the flexible nature of the materials often accommodates a variety of foot shapes comfortably.
What does DWR stand for?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, a finish applied to the fabric to make water bead up and roll off the surface.
Troubleshooting
Accumulated dirt causing loss of traction
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the lugs of the Trail Grip outsole.
Water soaking through the upper fabric
The DWR treatment may have worn off; clean the shoe and re-apply a spray-on water-repellent finish.
Odors developing inside the shoe
Remove the insoles to air out after each hike and ensure the shoes are kept in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Awe Hiker DWR shoes last as long as possible, remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft brush. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the materials or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the DWR treatment. To maintain the water-repellent properties over time, consider applying a performance-grade DWR spray once the original coating begins to wear off. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from becoming brittle.
