Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR is a versatile hiking shoe designed for adult men who enjoy exploring mixed terrains, offering a perfect blend of lightweight cushioning and reliable traction. Its standout benefit is the combination of a water-repellent DWR-treated upper and breathable construction, ensuring comfort during varying weather conditions. While highly capable on light trails and mixed paths, prospective users should note that the shoe is intended for dry or light rain conditions rather than full immersion in deep water or severe mountain conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, which makes them water-repellent and suitable for light rain, but they are not fully waterproof for submersion.

Can I wear these for winter hiking?

They are designed for general hiking on mixed terrain. They lack insulation, so they may not be suitable for extreme cold or deep snow.

What does the non-marking sole mean?

The rubber outsole is formulated to not leave black scuff marks on indoor or smooth floor surfaces.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to dry them separately or replace them with custom orthotics if preferred.

Do these require a break-in period?

The lightweight design and foam midsole provide comfort out of the box, but light use on short walks is recommended before long hikes to ensure a perfect fit.

Troubleshooting

Water-repellency wearing off

Wash the shoes to remove dirt and apply a specialized DWR-restoration spray.

Accumulated dirt in the outsole tread

Use a stiff brush to dislodge compacted mud and debris from the `HH Surround-Grip` patterns.

Shoes feeling damp inside

Ensure they are fully dried after each hike and consider removing the insoles during the drying process to improve airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Awe Hiker DWR shoes, proper care is essential.

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose mud or dirt using a soft brush. If the shoes are particularly dirty, wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers as this can damage the DWR coating and adhesive bonds.
  2. Drying: Air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
  3. DWR Maintenance: If you notice water no longer beads up on the surface, consider applying a commercial DWR-restoring spray to maintain water-repellent performance.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and ensure the shoe shape is preserved.
