FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for hiking and trekking. For everyday casual wear, you might find other models more suitable.
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 for natural foot splay and that the heel feels secure without slipping.
What is the expected lifespan of the waterproof membrane?
With proper care, the waterproof membrane is designed to last for the typical lifespan of the shoe. Avoid excessive heat during drying, as this can degrade the membrane.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membrane.
What makes the midsole channel 'closed'?
The design features a channel within the midsole that helps to actively eject stones and debris as you walk, preventing them from getting lodged and causing discomfort.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The shoe provides a stable platform and a secure fit, which contributes to overall foot support. However, specific arch support inserts are not a primary feature.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoe
Ensure laces are properly tied and the shoe is not submerged for extended periods. Check the waterproof membrane for damage; if damaged, it may need replacement.
Stones getting stuck in the sole
While designed to minimize this, check the tread and midsole channel after use and clear any lodged debris with a small stick or brush.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn and consider using appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole tread to remove mud or debris that might be reducing traction. The tread pattern is designed for mixed terrain; very slick, wet surfaces may still present a challenge.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent traction on various surfaces.
- Waterproof to keep feet dry.
- Secure and stable feel, especially in the heel.
- Debris-free stride due to the closed midsole channel.

Cons
- Mid-height may not be sufficient for users needing maximum ankle support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready for use right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: Ideal for hiking, trekking, and trail walking. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
