FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very wet conditions?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent waterproof protection, making them suitable for wet conditions and stream crossings.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that your heel does not slip.
Can I use these for backpacking trips with a heavy pack?
These shoes are optimized for day hikes and lighter loads. For multi-day trips with heavy backpacks, a more supportive hiking boot might be recommended.
What is the benefit of terracare® leather?
Terracare® leather is sustainably produced in Germany and known for its high quality, durability, and breathability, contributing to the shoe's overall performance and lifespan.
How often should I re-waterproof the leather?
It is recommended to re-waterproof the leather every few months, or as needed, especially after cleaning or if you notice reduced water repellency.
Are these shoes available in other colors?
This guide focuses on the Green colorway. Please check the product listing for availability of other colors such as Black.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite waterproof claims
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and that no excessive moisture has seeped in from the top opening. Check waterproofing treatments on the leather exterior, as this can affect overall water resistance.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Clean the Vibram sole to remove accumulated mud or debris. If wear is significant, the tread may be compromised, and replacement may be considered.
Discomfort or pressure points during wear
Allow for a proper break-in period. Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. The 3D Memo Foam should adapt over time.
