Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR hiking shoes are designed for adult male outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable footwear for mixed terrain. Their key benefit is a blend of secure grip, water-repellent protection, and breathable comfort, making them versatile for various trails. A minor caveat is that while DWR treated, they are best suited for dry conditions or light rain, not prolonged heavy downpours. These lightweight shoes feature a Trail Grip outsole for stability, a DWR-treated upper for moisture resistance, and an HH Flow foam midsole for cushioning.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain or wet conditions?

The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR shoes feature a water-repellent DWR treatment on the upper, which is effective for light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture. For prolonged downpours or very wet environments, consider waterproof footwear.

What type of terrain are these shoes best for?

These shoes are designed for mixed terrain, including trails, gravel paths, forest floors, and light off-road conditions. The Trail Grip outsole provides reliable traction on a variety of surfaces.

How do I clean and maintain the shoes?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, which can damage the DWR treatment and materials.

Do these shoes contain recycled materials?

Yes, the shoes are made with a commitment to sustainability, featuring 100% recycled materials for the laces, webbing, lining, and Strobel construction.

What is the purpose of the HH Flow foam midsole?

The HH Flow foam midsole is engineered to provide cushioning and shock absorption with every step, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue during long hikes.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The description does not specify a wide fit. It is recommended to try them on or consult with a retailer to determine if the fit is suitable for wide feet.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is described as flat.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Loosen the laces to allow more room. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the size may not be correct for your foot.

Feet feel wet after walking in light rain.

Check that the laces are tied securely to minimize water ingress. While DWR treated, the shoes are not fully waterproof; prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to moisture. Ensure the shoes are fully dried afterwards.

Traction seems reduced on slippery surfaces.

Ensure the Trail Grip outsole is free from mud or debris, as this can impact performance. Clean the sole with water and a brush. For extremely slick conditions, proceed with caution.

Soles are squeaking.

This can occasionally happen with new shoes or in specific conditions. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it resolves. Ensure the shoe is completely dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on mixed terrain.
  • Water-repellent treatment for light moisture protection.
  • Breathable for enhanced comfort during activity.
  • Cushioned midsole reduces foot fatigue.
  • Made with a significant amount of recycled materials.

Cons

  • DWR treatment is best for light rain, not heavy downpours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no assembly. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. The lace-up fastener allows for adjustable tightening.

Compatibility: Designed for mixed terrain hiking and multisport activities. They are suitable for adult males and pair well with standard hiking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the synthetic outer fabric with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For interior cleaning, use a brush or slightly damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  2. Water Repellency: The DWR treatment will diminish over time with use. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can compromise the DWR finish and materials. Reapplication of a DWR spray may be considered after extended use, following product instructions.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
