Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, lightweight shoe for mixed terrain and casual trail walking. Its standout benefit is the combination of a high-traction Trail Grip outsole and a comfortable HH Flow foam midsole, which provides stability and impact protection. However, users should note that while the DWR coating is effective for light moisture, these are not fully waterproof boots, so they are best suited for dry days or light showers.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment which makes them water-repellent. They can handle light rain but are not intended for submersion or heavy rain.
Are they suitable for the gym?
Yes, the non-marking rubber outsoles and breathable construction make them suitable for light gym use, though they are optimized for outdoor hiking.
What should I do if my shoes get muddy?
Let the mud dry, then gently brush it off. If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never machine wash or machine dry.
Are these made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the manufacturer uses recycled components in the production of these shoes to minimize environmental impact.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The shoes should feel snug but not tight. You should be able to wiggle your toes comfortably. Since these are hiking shoes, ensure there is slight room for thicker socks if you intend to hike in cooler weather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are losing water-repellency
Wash the shoes to remove dirt build-up and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment to the upper polyester fabric.
Inner foam feels flat or less responsive
Remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air out completely. If the issue persists, consider replacing the removable insole with a fresh pair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Awe Hiker shoes last, proper care is essential:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them on short walks to allow the foam midsole to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike. Use lukewarm water and mild soap for tougher stains. Avoid submerging the shoes completely if possible.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the DWR coating and warp the midsole foam.
- Re-treating: Over time, the water-repellent (DWR) finish may degrade. Periodically apply a spray-on DWR restorer designed for outdoor footwear to maintain water protection.
