FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, which offers resistance to light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may not perform well in heavy downpours or prolonged submersion.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are designed for mixed terrains, including dirt paths, gravel, and light rocky trails. They offer a reliable grip for general hiking and outdoor activities.
How do I clean the shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a brush. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
What is the benefit of the HH Flow foam midsole?
The HH Flow foam midsole provides cushioning for each step, helping to absorb impact and reduce foot fatigue during your hikes.
Can I wear these shoes in very hot weather?
The shoes have a breathable construction for good airflow. While suitable for warm weather, extremely high temperatures may still lead to perspiration. Using moisture-wicking socks is recommended.
How often should I reapply the water repellent treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and exposure. It's advisable to reapply a DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads up on the surface, typically after several wears or washes.
What sizes are available?
These shoes are available in various UK adult men's sizes. Please check the product listing for the specific size range offered.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks or loosen the laces. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider a larger size or a different model.
Traction is reduced on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that could affect grip. For excessively slippery conditions, consider the limitations of the shoe's tread pattern.
Feet feel wet after hiking in light rain.
The DWR treatment is for light water repellency. For heavier rain, waterproof footwear is recommended. Ensure laces are tied securely to minimize water entry from the top.
Reduced breathability causing sweaty feet.
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Clean any potential blockages in the shoe's mesh or ventilation areas. For very hot conditions, consider footwear with more extensive ventilation.
