FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The Intervale GTX provides good protection for mild to moderate conditions, but it is primarily designed as a three-season trekking shoe. For deep snow or sub-zero temperatures, an insulated mountain boot may be more appropriate.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if you require specific arch support.
How do I clean the shoes?
Use warm water and a soft-bristled brush to remove mud. Avoid detergents or washing machines, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, these are standard UK sizing. However, it is recommended to leave a thumb-width of space in the toe box to account for foot swelling on long descents.
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that is both waterproof and breathable.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight after walking for an hour
Adjust your lacing technique to relieve pressure across the bridge of the foot, or check if your feet have expanded due to heat, which is common during long treks.
Moisture inside the shoe despite GORE-TEX
Ensure that water is not entering through the top of the shoe via your pants, or check that your socks are moisture-wicking; cotton socks can trap sweat inside, mimicking a leak.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, wear the shoes indoors to allow the materials to soften. Ensure you check your fit with the exact thickness of socks you intend to use on the trail. To maintain the shoes, remove loose mud after every hike using a soft brush. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper to draw out moisture; never place them near a direct heat source, such as a radiator or fireplace, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and weaken the leather or synthetic bonding. Treat the exterior periodically with approved waterproof spray to maintain the water-repellent coating.
