FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproof protection and breathability, making them suitable for various weather conditions encountered during day hikes.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your foot length accurately in centimeters or inches. Compare this measurement to the provided UK size conversions.

Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand-wash using mild soap and water as per the care instructions.

What is the primary benefit of the Vibram sole?

The Vibram sole is renowned for its durability, excellent grip on diverse terrains, and flexibility, contributing significantly to sure-footedness.

How often should I re-waterproof the leather?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A general recommendation is to re-waterproof the leather every few months or whenever you notice a decrease in water repellency.

Do these shoes offer ankle support?

These are low-cut hiking shoes, meaning they primarily support the foot. For significant ankle support, consider a mid-cut or high-cut hiking boot.

What does bluesign® certification mean for this product?

Bluesign® certification indicates that the materials used (terrrcare® leather and GORE-TEX) meet strict environmental, health, and safety standards, promoting responsible manufacturing.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite GORE-TEX membrane.

Ensure the shoe's laces are tied securely to prevent water from entering the collar. Check for any damage to the membrane or seams. Reapply waterproofing treatment to the leather exterior.

Foot discomfort or rubbing.

Verify the correct size and width have been chosen. Consider using thicker hiking socks. The 3D Memo Foam may require a short break-in period to fully conform to the foot.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Clean the Vibram sole of any embedded debris that might be affecting traction. Ensure the sole is not excessively worn. For extremely slick conditions, consider alternative footwear or traction devices.

Leather appears dry or stiff.

Apply a suitable nubuck conditioner or waterproofing spray designed for hiking boots. Perform this treatment regularly, especially after the shoes have become wet.

  • Reliable waterproofing and breathability with the GORE-TEX membrane.
  • Durable construction from high-quality terracare® nubuck leather.
  • Environmentally conscious material sourcing.

Cons

  • Low-cut design may offer less ankle support compared to mid-cut boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for short durations initially to break them in.

Compatibility:

Designed for male adults, these shoes are suitable for standard hiking and trekking activities. They pair well with typical hiking socks and outdoor apparel.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and membrane.
  • Treatment: Periodically treat the leather with appropriate nubuck care products to maintain its water resistance and suppleness. Ensure any waterproofing treatments are compatible with GORE-TEX membranes.
