FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, the Helly Hansen Awe Hiker Dwr shoes feature a water-repellent (DWR-treated) upper, which is effective against light rain and dry conditions. They are not fully waterproof and will eventually allow water in during prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are designed for mixed terrain, including trails, gravel paths, parkland, and light rocky areas. The HH Trail Grip outsole provides reliable traction on such surfaces.
How do I clean my Awe Hiker Dwr shoes?
Gently clean the shoes with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Avoid using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What does DWR stand for?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics to make them shed water, preventing the material from becoming saturated.
Are the recycled materials used in these shoes durable?
Yes, the shoes utilize 100% recycled materials for laces, webbing, lining, and Strobel construction, engineered to maintain performance and durability for hiking activities.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard eyelet laces and can be replaced if they become worn or damaged. The shoes come with 100% recycled polyester laces.
What is the heel height?
The shoes have a flat heel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles are needed.
Water seeping through the upper
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the shoes thoroughly and reapply a DWR waterproofing spray. For heavy rain, consider additional waterproofing measures or a fully waterproof shoe.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of mud or debris, as this can significantly impact traction. The Trail Grip outsole is designed for mixed terrain and may have limitations on extremely slick, wet surfaces.
Inner sole discomfort after prolonged use
The HH Flow foam provides cushioning, but individual needs vary. Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional support or cushioning if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for men, these hiking shoes are suitable for adult use. They are compatible with standard hiking socks and can be used for various outdoor activities including hiking, walking, and multisport adventures on mixed terrain.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For the upper, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Water Repellency: The DWR treatment may diminish over time. To restore water repellency, use a DWR refresher spray specifically designed for outdoor footwear after cleaning and drying. Reapply periodically based on usage.
