FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for hiking?

These trainers offer good traction and some water resistance, making them suitable for light hikes on well-maintained trails. For rugged or very wet conditions, specialized hiking boots would be more appropriate.

How do I clean the water-resistant upper?

Wipe the upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water mixture, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.

Will my feet stay warm in freezing temperatures?

The 3M Thinsulate lining provides excellent warmth for cold weather, but performance can vary based on individual circulation and external conditions. They are designed for general cold weather use.

Can I put these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, insulation, and sole construction.

What is the main advantage of the aluminium stroble board?

The aluminium stroble board aids in thermal heat retention, helping to keep your feet warmer by reflecting heat back into the shoe.

How does the reverse lug tread help with traction?

The reverse lug tread pattern is designed to grip effectively on various surfaces, providing stability and preventing slips, especially on uneven or loose ground.

What material is the insole made of?

The insole is made of Foam Lite 2, which is designed to provide cushioning and support for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

This is normal for new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.

Reduced traction on very wet or icy surfaces

While the outsole provides good grip, extreme conditions may still pose a risk. Exercise caution in icy or extremely slick environments.

Water seeping through during heavy rain

The upper is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, consider additional waterproofing spray or a more robust waterproof footwear option.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male wear. Suitable for casual use, walking, and light athletic activities. Compatible with most types of socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
