FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
These shoes are designed for lifestyle and marine activities. While they offer good grip on wet surfaces, they lack the ankle support and rugged outsole needed for serious hiking trails.
How quickly do these shoes dry?
The HH Quick Dry technology allows them to shed water rapidly compared to standard shoes. However, the exact drying time depends on the level of saturation and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
What makes the grip 'Hydro-Grip'?
HH Hydro-Grip refers to a specific rubber compound and tread pattern designed to maximize traction on wet, smooth surfaces commonly found near water, such as boat decks or wet stone.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand washing with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the best method to preserve the materials and their performance.
What percentage of the shoe is made from recycled materials?
Over 70% of the upper is made from recycled materials. Specific components like laces, webbing, reinforcement, midsole, and lining also heavily utilize recycled content.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are water-resistant and feature quick-drying properties, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to manage moisture effectively and dry quickly if they get wet.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 74 mm.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean from mud or debris. The HH Hydro-Grip is optimized for wet, non-oily surfaces. For extremely slick or oily conditions, additional caution may be needed.
Feet feel damp after getting wet.
While designed for quick drying, complete saturation will still take time to evaporate. Ensure maximum airflow by unlacing if possible. The HH Quick Dry technology works best with general moisture rather than full submersion.
Slight odor after use.
Ensure shoes are thoroughly dried after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Regular cleaning and air drying will help prevent persistent odors.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that laces are adjusted properly. Break them in with shorter wear periods initially. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: To clean, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
