Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Onyx Mid is a versatile hiking shoe designed for men who prioritize comfort during casual walks and active everyday use. Its primary strength lies in the combination of a high-traction Vibram outsole and ISOTEX waterproof technology, making it a reliable choice for varied weather. However, users should note that the mid-cut leather profile, while supportive, may feel slightly more restrictive compared to low-profile trail runners.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for mountain climbing?

These are designed for light-to-moderate hiking and everyday walking; they are not intended for technical mountaineering or climbing.

Does the ISOTEX lining make the shoe hot?

ISOTEX is designed to be breathable, but like most waterproof membranes, it may feel warmer than non-waterproof shoes in hot, dry conditions.

How should I clean the neoprene collar?

Use a mild soap and a damp soft cloth to gently wipe the neoprene area. Avoid soaking the collar in water.

Do I need to size up for hiking socks?

The Onyx Mid generally fits true to size. If you prefer very thick wool socks, you might consider sizing up half a size, but otherwise, your standard shoe size is recommended.

What is the benefit of the XLT foam?

XLT foam provides a high-rebound cushioning effect that absorbs impact, helping to prevent foot and leg fatigue during long periods of walking.

Troubleshooting

Water penetrating the interior during heavy rain

Check the exterior for cracks in the material and re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the upper.

Foot slipping inside the boot

Ensure the laces are tightened firmly through all eyelets and verify that your socks are not too thin; consider switching to a thicker hiking sock for a better fit.

Outsole losing grip due to mud buildup

Use a stiff brush or a stick to clear the lug patterns on the Vibram sole between hikes to restore surface contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Onyx Mid hiking shoes maintain their performance, follow these care instructions. New boots should be worn for short durations indoors before hitting long trails to allow the synthetic leather to adapt to your foot shape.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive sponges.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
  3. Waterproofing: While ISOTEX is integrated, applying a standard water-repellent spray specifically for synthetic leather can help maintain the exterior's finish.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent mildew buildup inside the footwear.
