FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While the GORE-TEX® offers waterproofing, these shoes are not specifically designed for extreme winter conditions and may not provide sufficient insulation or grip on ice and deep snow.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear for hiking. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for movement and no heel slippage.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials and waterproofing. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the main advantage of the GORE-TEX® material?
GORE-TEX® provides a waterproof barrier that also allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, keeping your feet dry from both external moisture and internal perspiration.
How durable is the rubber sole?
The grippy rubber sole is designed for durability and traction on various trail surfaces, offering good resistance to abrasion from rocks and rough terrain.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for typical adult feet. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on in person or consult sizing guides carefully.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are tied securely and the tongue is properly aligned to prevent water ingress. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX® material.
Poor grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the shoes are not worn out.
Discomfort during long hikes
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Consider using aftermarket insoles for personalized cushioning if needed. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before attempting long distances.

Care:
