Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance trekking?
Yes, the stability, support, and comfort provided by the Advanced CHASSIS and SensiFit™ technology make them well-suited for long-distance trekking.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Ensure your heel is locked into the heel counter and there is enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle slightly. The SensiFit™ system should feel snug but not constrictive.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, standard hiking boot laces can be used to replace the original laces if needed.
What is the main advantage of the Gore-Tex material?
Gore-Tex provides reliable waterproofing, keeping your feet dry from external moisture like rain and puddles, while also allowing some vapor to escape to help manage internal moisture.
How often should I clean my hiking shoes?
It's recommended to clean your shoes after each significant hike, especially if they have been exposed to mud or dirt, to maintain their performance and longevity.
Will these shoes provide good ankle support?
These are low-cut hiking shoes, primarily offering ankle support through a secure fit. For significant ankle support needs, consider a mid or high-cut hiking boot.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness in the leather initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break in the leather. Consider using hiking socks during the break-in period.
Reduced grip on very smooth, wet surfaces
While Contagrip® is excellent, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any outsole. Ensure you adjust your stride and approach cautiously.
Feet feeling warm during extended summer hikes
This can be a characteristic of waterproof footwear. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. For very hot conditions, consider a less waterproof shoe model if breathability is the absolute priority.
