FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day hiking?
Yes, the combination of EVA cushioning, heel air cushion, and arch support is designed for comfort during extended wear on trails.
Can I wear these shoes in snow?
While the GORE-TEX lining provides waterproofing, these shoes are best suited for summer outings and moderate temperatures. They are not insulated for deep snow or extreme cold.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a slightly damp cloth for stains. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Consider a suede protector spray for ongoing care.
What does 'Vegan-Friendly' mean for this shoe?
It indicates that no animal products were used in the construction of this specific shoe variant.
What is the lug depth on the outsole?
The lug depth on the outsole is 4.2mm, providing good grip for general trail use.
How effective is the odor control?
The shoes feature an Aegis antimicrobial treatment which helps to reduce odor-causing bacteria. Proper drying and airing after use will maximize its effectiveness.
What is the main benefit of the bellows tongue?
The bellows tongue is attached at the sides and top, creating a seal that helps to keep out debris like dirt, gravel, and water from entering the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX lining
Ensure the shoe's laces are snug and the bellows tongue is properly seated to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any potential damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams.
Slipping on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole of mud or debris as this can affect traction. The sticky rubber outsole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions may still pose a risk.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks. Check sock fit and consider thicker hiking socks if needed.
Shoe odor persists
While the Aegis treatment helps, ensure shoes are properly aired out after each use and dried thoroughly if they become wet. Consider using cedar shoe trees or odor-absorbing insoles.

Care:
- Cleaning: For the suede and mesh upper, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains or after wet use, use a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
