FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Stinson Evo line generally offers a comfortable fit. However, specific width accommodation can vary. It's recommended to check product reviews or consult sizing guides for detailed information on fit, especially for larger sizes like UK 14.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the HOKA sizing chart. Consider trying them on if possible, or refer to customer reviews regarding sizing accuracy for this specific model.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and affect the shoe's structural integrity.
What is the expected lifespan of the GORE-TEX waterproofing?
With proper care, the GORE-TEX membrane should maintain its waterproof and breathable properties for the typical lifespan of the shoe, usually several years of regular use. Performance can degrade with extreme wear and tear or improper cleaning.
Are these shoes waterproof or water-resistant?
These sneakers feature GORE-TEX, which is a highly waterproof and breathable membrane, making the shoes fully waterproof.
What is the main difference between the 'Evo' and other Stinson models?
The 'Evo' designation typically indicates an updated or refined version, often incorporating advancements in materials or design for improved performance and comfort compared to earlier iterations.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are fully tightened to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any breaches in the GORE-TEX membrane or damage to the shoe. Moisture can also come from within if socks are not appropriate for the conditions.
Traction seems poor on slippery surfaces
Clean the rubber track sole of any mud or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the terrain is within the intended performance limits of the shoe.
Laces come undone easily
Try a double knot or consider replacing the laces with a more robust, anti-slip pair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These sneakers require no initial setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely for optimal performance and support.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult users across genders. Designed primarily for hiking and outdoor activities, but also compatible with casual wear. Available in UK Men's sizes.
Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX properties and overall condition:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and cool water to clean the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents.
