FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Fastpack WP model includes waterproof features designed to keep feet dry in wet trail conditions.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
While the fit is standard, the lace-up closure allows for some adjustment, but individuals with very wide feet may find the low-profile fit snug.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if preferred.
How do I determine my size in this model?
It is recommended to refer to the UK size chart provided for this specific product, keeping in mind that hiking shoes are often best worn with slightly thicker socks.
Are these shoes meant for road running?
These are specialized hiking shoes with lugged soles designed for trails; they are not intended for asphalt or pavement running.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Try the 'heel lock' lacing technique to better secure your ankle and prevent forward sliding.
Build-up of debris inside the shoe
Consider wearing gaiters to bridge the gap between your pants and the low-cut ankle of the shoe.
Sole losing traction due to mud
Tap the soles against a rock or use a stick to clear deep mud from the tread pattern to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Fastpack WP shoes, ensure you select the correct size, as the lace-up system is designed to provide a secure lockdown that shouldn't be overly tightened to the point of restricting circulation.
Care Instructions:
- Remove loose dirt and mud using a soft-bristled brush after each hike.
- Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical detergents.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, as high heat can damage the bonding agents and materials.
- Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing them in a cool, well-ventilated area.
