FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The product features a durable ripstop upper designed for protection and support, but it is not marketed as a waterproof hiking boot.

Can I use these for trail running?

Yes, the combination of the HOVR midsole and Exogrip outsole makes them suitable for fast-paced hiking and trail running applications.

How do I determine my size?

These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical athletic shoe size.

How does the HOVR midsole benefit my hike?

The dual-density UA HOVR foam reduces impact on your joints and returns energy to your stride, reducing fatigue on long treks.

What is the primary function of the TPU heel stabilizer?

The stabilizer prevents the heel from shifting inside the shoe, providing essential lateral support on uneven terrain.

Can I replace the insole?

The shoes come with a molded EVA sockliner. While it can be removed, it is recommended to use the provided insole for the best comfort and performance alignment.

Troubleshooting

Lacing feels uneven or too tight at the top

Loosen the quick-toggle and adjust the tension along the individual eyelets before pulling the toggle tight again.

Accumulation of mud in the outsole lugs

Use a stiff-bristled brush or a stick to dislodge mud once it has dried slightly, ensuring the Exogrip pattern is clear for maximum traction.

Heel slippage while hiking

Ensure the heel is fully seated in the cup and re-adjust the lacing tension, focusing on securing the fit around the midfoot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact absorption via HOVR technology
  • High-traction outsole performs well on loose terrain
  • Durable ripstop construction resists trail wear
  • Quick-toggle lacing allows for fast on-and-off transitions
  • Provides reliable heel support for stability

Cons

  • Quick-toggle lacing may not allow for personalized pressure distribution like traditional laces
  • Bold orange color profile may not suit all aesthetic preferences
  • Limited to specific sizing runs, so check availability for your UK foot size

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, adjust the quick-toggle lacing system while the shoe is on your foot to ensure a snug but comfortable tension. Avoid overtightening, as the toggle is designed to hold firmly without excessive pressure. For maintenance, clean the shoes by brushing off dry mud or debris after each hike. If they become heavily soiled, use a soft brush and mild soap with lukewarm water. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, as excessive heat can degrade the rubber and foam materials.
