FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, they are specifically engineered for hiking performance. Their advanced cushioning and grip features might feel more robust than necessary for casual, everyday use, but they can certainly be worn if that level of support is desired.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping when walking.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and cushioning materials. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap as described in the care instructions.
What is the benefit of CloudTec Phase technology?
CloudTec Phase technology is designed to provide a smooth and cushioned landing experience, optimized for the specific demands of hiking, reducing impact on joints.
How durable is the Missiongrip outsole?
The Missiongrip outsole is engineered for durability and provides reliable traction across various terrains, designed to withstand the wear and tear of hiking.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For best performance and comfort, especially with the waterproof membrane, wear moisture-wicking socks made of synthetic materials or merino wool.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
This depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or feet are getting damp in wet conditions, it may be time to reapply a suitable waterproofing spray.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claim.
Ensure the shoe's waterproof membrane is intact and not compromised. Check that laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Allow shoes to dry completely and check for any tears or damage.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Missiongrip outsole of any debris or mud that might be clogging the treads. Ensure the shoe is the correct size and fit; a poor fit can affect how your foot interacts with the ground.
Discomfort or pressure points.
Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing to alleviate pressure points. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Shoes feel stiff after cleaning.
Avoid harsh cleaning agents. Ensure shoes are air-dried away from direct heat. Applying a leather conditioner (if applicable to any trim) after drying can help restore suppleness.
