The waterproof membrane provides protection in damp conditions, light rain, and puddles. However, they are low-cut shoes, and submersion or very heavy, prolonged downpours might allow water to enter over the top or compromise the waterproof barrier.
Gently clean the synthetic upper using a soft damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the material or the waterproof membrane. Allow them to air dry naturally.
They are ideal for light trail walks, outdoor errands, dog walking, and general daily use where waterproof protection and good traction are desired, especially in wet weather.
While they offer some protection from moisture, these shoes are not insulated for extreme cold. For warmth, pair them with appropriate thermal socks. Their primary function is waterproofing and traction.
Being a low-cut design, these shoes offer minimal ankle support compared to mid or high-cut walking boots. They prioritize flexibility and freedom of movement for varied terrain.
Regular cleaning and proper air-drying are key. You can also apply a suitable waterproof treatment spray designed for synthetic outdoor footwear periodically to refresh the outer water repellency.
Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water from entering over the top. Check socks; cotton socks can absorb moisture. Consider treating the outer surface with a waterproof spray if the original water repellency has diminished over time due to wear.
Clean the rugged moulded outsole thoroughly to remove any caked mud or debris. While designed for varied surfaces, extreme conditions like ice or deep, slick mud may still pose a challenge. Check tread for wear; excessive wear can reduce grip.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. If laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new, durable walking shoe laces.
Adjust the lacing system to ensure a snug but not overly tight fit. Experiment with different thicknesses of walking socks. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct shoe size for your feet.
The Gelert Horizon Low Waterproof Walking Shoe features a classic lacing system.
These shoes are designed for adults and are suitable for various light outdoor activities including walking, trail exploration, and general outdoor use in damp conditions. They are offered in multiple UK adult foot sizes to ensure a proper fit.
Proper care helps maintain the shoe's performance and longevity.
