Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR is a versatile, performance-oriented hiking shoe designed for adult outdoor enthusiasts navigating mixed terrain. Featuring a DWR-treated upper for water repellency and proprietary HH Flow foam for cushioning, it offers an excellent balance of comfort and agility for trail exploration. While highly capable in varied conditions, the shoe is best suited for light rain and dry paths rather than submersion in heavy, wet environments or extreme technical alpine climbing.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, they feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating which is designed for light rain and moisture, but they are not fully waterproof for submersion.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While they provide good traction on mixed paths, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures or heavy snow conditions.
How should I clean the polyester upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid washing machines as they can damage the structural integrity of the materials.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Awe Hiker range generally fits true to UK sizing. We recommend referencing the size guide and allowing for a small amount of extra space for hiking socks.
What kind of terrain are they best suited for?
They are ideal for mixed terrains, light trails, and forest paths where a balance of grip and agility is required.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the upper
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the shoe thoroughly and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Loss of traction on trails
Check the outsole for mud or debris clogging the tread pattern. Clean the grooves with a brush to restore grip.
Discomfort during long hikes
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly and check for proper sock thickness. If pain persists, consider using high-quality aftermarket insoles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Helly Hansen hiking shoes maintain their performance levels, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them on short local walks before embarking on longer hiking expeditions to ensure an optimal fit.
- Cleaning: Remove loose debris after every hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources such as radiators or open fires, which can warp the foam midsole and dry out the upper materials.
- DWR Maintenance: Over time, water repellency will fade. Reapply a professional-grade DWR spray periodically to maintain the shoe's protective barrier against moisture.
