Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Awe Hiking Shoes are designed for outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable and versatile footwear option for mixed-terrain hiking. These shoes provide a key benefit of combining high-traction performance with a water-repellent finish, making them ideal for changing trail conditions. One caveat for prospective users is that while they are water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof, so they are best suited for dry or light rain conditions rather than heavy downpours or submerged trails.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, they feature a water-repellent DWR coating. They are suitable for light rain and damp trails, but they are not designed to be submerged in water.
Can these be worn on paved paths?
Yes, the non-marking rubber outsole makes them suitable for transition between gravel trails and paved surfaces.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing for adults. It is recommended to size up by half a size if you prefer wearing thick, heavy wool hiking socks.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from high-quality polyester, designed for both durability and breathability.
Are they suitable for technical climbing?
No, these are intended for hiking and trail walking. They do not have the stiff sole or protection required for technical rock climbing.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the shoe surface.
The DWR coating has likely worn off; apply a water-repellent spray treatment specifically designed for polyester hiking footwear.
Shoes feel slippery on steep, loose terrain.
Ensure the outsole treads are clear of compacted mud or debris, as trapped dirt can reduce the effectiveness of the grip pattern.
Persistent odor inside the shoe.
Remove the insoles to air them out separately and use a shoe-safe disinfectant spray to neutralize bacteria.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen Awe Hiking Shoes, focus on regular maintenance and proper fitting.
- Fitting: Ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Test the fit in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.
- Cleaning: After hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior.
- DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, consider using a fabric-safe DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Air out your shoes after every use in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or trapped in a closed bag for extended periods to prevent odor buildup.
