FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These shoes are designed with a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on first or check for reviews specifically mentioning width.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's construction and materials. Hand clean using a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the best terrain for these shoes?
They are best suited for moderate hiking trails, including gravel, dirt paths, and rocky terrain. They provide good grip on dry to damp surfaces.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period varies per individual, but generally, a few shorter walks (2-5 miles) should be sufficient to adapt them to your foot shape.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes offer water resistance to handle damp conditions and light splashes, but they are not fully waterproof. For significant water exposure, waterproof footwear is advised.
What other colors or sizes are available?
This specific listing is for Grey/Blue, UK size 8. Other colorways and sizes may be available under different product listings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them with less tension, focusing on a snug but not constricting fit. If still uncomfortable after break-in, consider if the size is correct for your foot.
Lack of traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris. Ensure the trail surface is within the intended performance range of the shoe; extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.
Water seepage
These shoes are designed for hiking and offer some water resistance, but are not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or boots. Ensure laces are tied correctly to prevent water ingress around the ankle.
