FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
The ISOTEX membrane provides waterproofing, making them suitable for moderate rain and damp conditions. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours or water submersion, more specialized waterproof boots may be necessary.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should feel comfortable across the width of your foot.
Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, the waterproofing membrane, and the adhesives. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For best comfort and moisture management, wear moisture-wicking socks made from wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, as they tend to hold moisture.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
It depends on usage and conditions. Generally, reapplying a waterproofing treatment every few months or after a thorough cleaning can help maintain optimal performance.
What is the IEP system?
IEP stands for Internal EVA Pocket. This technology provides enhanced cushioning, particularly at the heel, to absorb impact and improve comfort during wear.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
While they offer good grip and support, they are primarily designed for walking and light hiking. For trail running, shoes with more specialized features for grip, flexibility, and impact absorption during higher-impact activities would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp or wet
Ensure the ISOTEX membrane is intact. Check for any tears or damage. If the shoes are very dirty, cleaning them might restore breathability. Consider if the conditions exceeded the water-resistance rating.
Reduced cushioning or comfort
The TECFOAM insock might compress over time. If discomfort persists, consider replacing the insock with a suitable aftermarket alternative for personalized comfort.
Poor grip on surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole of mud and debris, as this can significantly reduce traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern, which may indicate the outsole needs replacement.
Material degradation after cleaning
Ensure you are using appropriate cleaning methods and mild detergents. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing. Always air dry away from direct heat.
