Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Holcombe Waterproof Low Walking Shoes are designed for adult women seeking durable and comfortable footwear for hiking and outdoor adventures. Their key benefit is reliable waterproofing and breathability, ensuring comfort on long treks. A potential caveat is that the trainer-like design, while agile, may offer less ankle support than traditional boots. These shoes feature Isotex and Hydropel technology for superior water resistance, a padded collar and tongue for enhanced comfort, and a robust rubber outsole with angled lugs for traction on varied terrain. The low-cut, trainer-style design promotes agility, making them suitable for both rugged trails and casual countryside walks.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the moulded EVA footbed, padded collar, and breathable design make them comfortable for long hikes, though they are best suited for well-maintained trails rather than extreme expeditions.
How do I clean the shoes if they get very muddy?
Remove excess mud with a brush. Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution for cleaning. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Will my feet stay dry in heavy rain?
The Isotex waterproof technology is designed to keep feet dry from rain and splashes. Ensure proper lacing and that the shoe's integrity is maintained for optimal waterproofing.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?
They are ideal for rugged terrain, countryside walks, and general hiking trails. The rubber outsole with angled lugs provides good grip on varied surfaces.
Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?
Yes, the breathable construction helps to keep feet fresh even in warmer conditions by allowing air to circulate.
Do these shoes offer ankle support?
These are low-cut shoes and offer limited ankle support, similar to trainers. For activities requiring significant ankle stability, consider a mid or high-cut hiking boot.
How should I maintain the waterproofing?
Periodically re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment to the shoes, especially after cleaning or extensive use, to ensure the Hydropel technology remains effective.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite being waterproof shoes.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that the tongue is positioned correctly to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the upper material or seams. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear.
This is common with new hiking footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure the lacing is not too tight or too loose. The EVA footbed may also mold to your foot over time.
Traction is poor on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole treads to remove any mud or debris that might be obstructing the lugs. For very slick surfaces, consider exercising extra caution or using shoes with more aggressive tread patterns if needed.
Shoes feel stiff after drying.
Avoid drying near direct heat. If stiffness occurs, try conditioning the materials with a suitable leather or synthetic conditioner (if applicable to the shoe's composition) or wear them for a short period to regain flexibility.
