FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of weather?
The Isotex membrane provides waterproofing and breathability, making them ideal for wet conditions and general hiking. They offer good performance in rain and on damp trails.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle slightly, and your heel should feel secure without lifting excessively when you walk. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically hike in is recommended.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the waterproof membrane and adhesives, compromising the shoe's performance and durability.
What is the benefit of the DuoGrip traction?
DuoGrip technology provides enhanced grip and stability on a variety of outdoor surfaces, reducing the risk of slips and falls on uneven or wet terrain.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The longevity of the cushioned foam insole depends on usage frequency and intensity. For regular hiking, expect noticeable comfort for a significant period, but like all cushioning, it will gradually compress over extensive wear.
Is the low-cut design better than a mid-cut for hiking?
The low-cut design offers greater ankle flexibility and is generally lighter, making it suitable for well-maintained trails and faster-paced hiking. Mid-cut shoes offer more ankle support, which can be beneficial on very rough or unstable terrain.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or after heavy use in wet conditions. Typically, this might be needed once or twice a year depending on how often you use the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproofing
Ensure the Isotex membrane is intact. Check that laces are tied to prevent water ingress at the ankle. The shoes may have been submerged for extended periods, exceeding the membrane's capability.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to improve fit. Wear appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.
Traction feels poor on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove mud or debris. The DuoGrip traction is designed for hiking surfaces; performance may vary on extremely smooth or polished indoor surfaces. Consider the age and wear of the shoe's sole.
Material appears to be damaged
Inspect for tears or abrasions. Minor scuffs can be cleaned. Significant damage may affect waterproof performance and structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These shoes are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely but comfortably before your first wear. Adjust lacing to achieve a snug fit around your foot, ensuring your heel does not slip.
Compatibility:
Suitable for men with adult foot sizes. The specific UK size is indicated on the product packaging. These shoes are designed for walking and hiking activities.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for hiking footwear to maintain the water-repellent properties of the outer material, especially after significant wear.
