FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for damp conditions. For deep snow or sub-zero temperatures, consider insulated winter boots.
How do I choose the right size?
It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for comfort during descents and adequate heel lock.
What is the main advantage of the Vibram sole?
The Vibram sole is renowned for its excellent durability, superior grip on a variety of surfaces, and reliable traction, enhancing sure-footedness.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A good practice is to re-waterproof after deep cleaning or when you notice a decrease in water repellency, typically after significant wear.
Are these shoes waterproof or water-resistant?
They feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which provides both waterproofing and breathability, keeping your feet dry from external moisture while allowing sweat vapor to escape.
What does 'terracare®' leather mean?
Terracare® is a premium nubuck leather that is sustainably produced in Germany. It offers high quality, durability, and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into shoes
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check that laces are tied tightly and the tongue is properly positioned. If the exterior material is saturated, allow the shoes to dry completely and reapply waterproofing treatment.
Discomfort or hot spots during wear
Allow for a break-in period. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking and fit well. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points. The 3D Memo Foam should adapt over time.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the Vibram sole of mud or debris. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern, which may indicate it's time for replacement.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner or waterproofing product specifically designed for nubuck leather to maintain suppleness and water resistance.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fires) as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically treat the leather with appropriate waterproofing sprays or waxes designed for nubuck leather and GORE-TEX footwear to maintain water resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
