FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While designed for technical trails, the cushioning makes them very comfortable for pavement; however, the aggressive outsole lugs will wear down faster on concrete.
Does the GORE-TEX membrane make the shoe too hot?
The Invisible Fit technology is more breathable than traditional membranes, but it will still be warmer than non-waterproof shoes in extreme summer heat.
How do I determine if the size fits correctly?
Ensure you have about a thumbnail's width of space in front of your longest toe to accommodate foot swelling during long hikes.
Can I use these shoes in snowy conditions?
Yes, the waterproof membrane and high-traction outsole perform well in light snow and slushy conditions.
Is the anti-odour liner permanent?
The liner provides effective odor management for the life of the shoe, provided you allow the shoes to dry completely between uses.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective over time
The exterior DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; apply a waterproof spray specifically formulated for GORE-TEX footwear.
Foot discomfort or hot spots
Ensure the laces are not overtightened at the midfoot and consider using moisture-wicking hiking socks to reduce friction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior waterproof protection with GORE-TEX technology
- Highly responsive cushioning for reduced foot fatigue
- Excellent traction on technical and uneven surfaces
- Improved visibility for low-light hiking
- Integrated odor control for multi-day freshness
Cons
- May feel slightly heavier than non-waterproof versions
- Rigid structure might require a short break-in period
- Breathability is limited compared to mesh-only trail runners
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, begin by properly lacing the shoes to secure the midfoot while allowing the toes room to splay. If you wear custom orthotics, the internal sock liner can be removed to provide extra volume and accommodate your specific support needs. For long-term care, avoid machine washing; instead, brush off dried mud with a soft-bristle brush and rinse gently with cool water. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Periodically check the outsole lugs for debris and debris buildup to maintain maximum traction.
