Full details

High-quality, sustainably produced terracare® nubuck leather ensures durability and stability.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The Mammut Mercury IV Mid GTX offer good waterproof and windproof protection, making them suitable for damp or cool conditions. However, they are not insulated and may not be warm enough for deep winter or snow conditions without additional thermal socks and gaiters.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Mammut and measure your foot length in centimeters. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membrane. Clean them manually using a brush and mild soap.
What is the main advantage of the Vibram sole?
The Vibram sole is known for its durability and superior traction on a wide variety of surfaces, both wet and dry, enhancing stability and confidence on trails.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
The frequency depends on usage and conditions, but typically, re-waterproofing is recommended every few months or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the leather.
Is the terracare® leather environmentally friendly?
Yes, terracare® leather is produced using a sustainable manufacturing process in Germany, with a focus on reduced water and energy consumption, and is bluesign®-certified.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX membrane
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking and not cotton. Check that laces are tied snugly but not overly tight to allow breathability. Inspect shoes for any significant damage to the membrane or seams.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Vibram sole offers excellent grip, very slick surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure even pressure distribution and adjust your stride. Clean the sole of any mud or debris that might reduce traction.
Discomfort after short use
Ensure the correct size is being worn and that lacing provides a secure but not constricting fit. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before embarking on longer hikes.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable nubuck leather conditioner or waterproofing treatment. Ensure the shoes are clean before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure you have appropriate hiking socks for maximum comfort and moisture management.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking and trekking activities. They pair well with standard hiking trousers and backpacks. The GORE-TEX membrane is compatible with most weather conditions encountered on day hikes.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild soap specifically designed for outdoor footwear. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable waterproofing spray or wax designed for nubuck leather and GORE-TEX footwear. This helps maintain water repellency and leather condition.
