FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for heavy-duty hiking?

The Meindl Philadelphia GORE-TEX shoes are best suited for low-level trails and urban walking. For more rugged or mountainous terrain, consider Meindl's hiking boot range.

How do I ensure the best fit?

We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for walking. The Comfort-Fit design offers a slightly wider forefoot.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand clean with a brush and damp cloth.

How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It's advisable to re-waterproof when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after significant use or cleaning.

What is the benefit of the Air-Active Wellness Sport footbed?

This footbed provides enhanced cushioning for comfort during long walks and features perforations to help circulate air, keeping feet drier and fresher.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper is constructed from high-quality Nubuck leather.

Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?

The Meindl Philadelphia is available in Brown. Various UK sizes are offered, please check product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX lining.

Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that the GORE-TEX membrane has not been compromised. Check socks for excessive moisture or leaks. Allow shoes to dry completely and consider re-applying waterproofing treatment to the exterior.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The Comfort Sport sole provides good grip, but extremely smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the soles are clean of mud or debris. For particularly challenging conditions, consider alternative footwear designed for extreme grip.

Leather appears dry or stiff.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner or waterproofing product designed for Nubuck and GORE-TEX footwear. Follow product instructions carefully and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for use with standard hiking socks. The GORE-TEX lining is compatible with most sock materials.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove dirt and mud with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather and GORE-TEX membrane.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically treat the Nubuck leather with appropriate waterproofing sprays designed for GORE-TEX footwear to maintain its water-repellent properties. Refer to the product packaging for specific product recommendations.
  4. Footbed Care: Remove the Air-Active Wellness Sport footbed occasionally and air it out to help manage odor and moisture.
