FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The RAIN.RDY technology offers water resistance, which is beneficial in winter conditions. However, they are not insulated and may not provide sufficient warmth for deep snow or very cold temperatures without additional thermal socks.
How durable is the abrasion-resistant mesh?
The mesh is designed to withstand typical trail abrasion from rocks and vegetation. While durable, it can still be damaged by sharp objects or excessive friction.
Can I replace the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole is integrated into the shoe's construction and is not designed to be user-replaceable. Its cushioning properties are expected to last for the typical lifespan of the shoe.
What does 'Buy 1 Size Bigger' mean in the description?
It is a recommendation suggesting that customers might find a more comfortable fit by ordering a size larger than their usual shoe size, potentially to accommodate thicker socks or allow for foot swelling during hikes.
How often should I reapply waterproofing spray?
Reapplication frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. Inspect the shoes periodically; if water no longer beads up on the surface, it may be time to reapply a suitable footwear waterproofing spray.
What is the benefit of a gusseted tongue?
A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, creating a barrier that helps prevent water, dirt, and debris from entering the shoe through the lace area.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after hiking in rain.
Ensure the laces are tied securely to prevent water from entering the shoe. Check that the RAIN.RDY treatment is still effective; consider reapplying a waterproofing spray. Also, verify that the socks worn are not absorbing moisture.
Traction feels inadequate on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Traxion outsole of mud and debris, as this can impede grip. For exceptionally slick conditions, consider slower movement and maintaining balance.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
As per product notes, consider purchasing one size larger for a more comfortable fit. Wearing the shoes around the house can help break them in. Ensure socks are not too thick if you purchased your usual size.
Upper material appears scuffed.
The abrasion-resistant mesh is designed to withstand minor scuffs. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, the material's protective qualities remain, but cosmetic appearance may be affected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider trying them on with your usual hiking socks before purchasing, or purchase one size larger if uncertain.
Compatibility: Suitable for general hiking, walking, and outdoor activities in varied weather conditions. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Water Repellency: While the RAIN.RDY finish is durable, its effectiveness may diminish over time. Consider using a suitable waterproofing spray designed for footwear if needed.
