FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They offer excellent water protection, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space at the toe and no significant heel slippage while walking.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided EVA insoles can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
How often should I clean the exterior?
Clean them after every muddy or dusty hike to maintain the material's integrity and breathability.
Can I use these for daily wear in the city?
Yes, their versatile design works well for urban outdoor activities and daily wear in wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks rather than cotton, which traps sweat.
Reduced grip on smooth rock
Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove caked mud or grit that blocks the tread pattern.
Stiff sensation during the first wear
Wear the shoes indoors or on short walks for a few days to allow the leather and midsole to break in naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Cragstone shoes, proper maintenance is essential. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally after wet conditions—avoid using direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and damage the leather. Regularly brush off dried mud and dirt after hikes to maintain the breathability of the outer materials. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a mild soap and a soft brush to clean them. Check the outsole periodically for trapped debris that might compromise traction. For optimal fit, pair these shoes with moisture-wicking hiking socks to complement the DryVent system.
