FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the IsoDry technology is designed to provide waterproofing, making them suitable for moderate to heavy rain. However, prolonged submersion may compromise the waterproof seal.

What type of terrain are these shoes best for?

They are best suited for light to moderate hiking trails, country paths, and general outdoor walking. The high-traction outsole offers good grip on varied surfaces.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. These shoes feature a wide fit, so if you have narrow feet, you may need to consider sock thickness or inserts for a secure fit.

Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?

The shoes have breathable mesh panels, but the waterproof membrane may reduce overall breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes. They are generally comfortable in mild to warm conditions.

How long will the waterproofing last?

The longevity of the waterproofing depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning and reapplication of appropriate waterproofing treatments can help maintain performance.

Are these shoes good for ankle support?

These are low-cut shoes, offering flexibility and freedom of movement for the ankle. They provide less direct ankle support compared to mid or high-cut hiking boots.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite waterproof claims.

Ensure laces are fully tightened to prevent water ingress around the ankle. Check for any damage to the IsoDry membrane or seams. Allow shoes to dry completely before re-wearing.

Shoes feel too loose or slip at the heel.

Adjust the lacing pattern to achieve a more secure fit, focusing on heel lockdown. Consider using thicker socks or adding a heel grip insert.

Traction seems poor on a specific surface.

Ensure the outsole is free from mud, stones, or debris that could impede grip. Different surfaces have varying traction characteristics; always exercise caution on slick or loose ground.

Discomfort during long walks.

Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks. Ensure the lacing provides adequate support without being too tight. Consider the thickness of your socks.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable suede and breathable mesh upper.
  • Comfortable cushioning from EVA insole and Phylon midsole.
  • Excellent grip on diverse terrains due to high-traction outsole.
  • Wide fit provides comfort for extended wear.

Cons

  • Wide fit may be too loose for individuals with narrow feet.
  • Suede material may require specific care to maintain appearance.
  • Low-cut design offers less ankle support compared to mid or high-cut boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit before your first use. The pull tab at the heel can assist in putting them on.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, suitable for a UK size 5 foot. They are ideal for walking, hiking, and general outdoor activities. Compatibility with specific orthotics or insoles may vary due to the standard EVA insole; consult with a professional if custom inserts are required.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud from the suede and mesh exterior. For stubborn stains, a suede brush can be used gently. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Protection: For added water repellency and stain resistance, consider using a suede-specific waterproofing spray, following the product's instructions.
