FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, the shoes feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, making them water-repellent for dry or light rain conditions. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
What is the main benefit of the HH Trail Grip outsole?
The HH Trail Grip outsole is designed to provide excellent traction and stability on a variety of mixed terrains, helping to prevent slips and ensure confident footing.
How do I clean the shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a brush or damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Always air dry naturally away from heat.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, they feature 100% recycled laces, 100% recycled polyester strap, 100% recycled lining, and 100% recycled polyester Strobel.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
They are designed for mixed terrains, making them suitable for forest paths, rocky trails, and general hiking where a reliable grip and some water resistance are needed.
What is the purpose of the HH Flow foam midsole?
The HH Flow foam midsole provides cushioning to absorb impact with each step, enhancing comfort during long hikes and reducing fatigue.
What does DWR stand for?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a coating applied to fabrics that makes them shed water, preventing saturation.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Clean the shoes thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment spray suitable for outdoor footwear. Ensure the upper is completely dry before application.
Traction seems diminished on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the tread patterns. While the DWR treatment helps, these shoes are best suited for light moisture, not prolonged submersion or heavy rain.
Feet feel uncomfortable or hot after a hike
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). The breathable construction aims to improve airflow, but extreme heat can still impact comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These hiking shoes require no complex setup; they are ready for use straight out of the box. They are compatible with standard hiking socks and suitable for use with most outdoor apparel. To maintain the water-repellent properties and overall condition of your shoes:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- DWR Treatment: To refresh the water-repellent finish, use a DWR re-proofing spray designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. This is typically done after cleaning and drying.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a breathable bag or their original box.
