FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof features. They are designed with a combination upper that may offer some resistance, but they are not advertised as waterproof hiking shoes.
How should I clean the mesh and leather?
Gently clean the mesh and leather with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Always air dry away from heat.
What is the benefit of the Techlite midsole?
The Techlite midsole provides exceptional cushioning, reduces weight, and offers high energy return, which helps in maintaining comfort and reducing fatigue during long hikes.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or other preferred insoles, provided they fit within the shoe's volume.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best suited for light trails, walking paths, and general hiking on varied terrain such as dirt, gravel, and moderate inclines. They are not intended for technical mountaineering.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Refer to standard UK sizing guides. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or ensure you are familiar with your UK shoe size, as these are listed in UK sizing.
Will the rubber sole leave marks on indoor floors?
The sole is described as 'non-marking traction rubber,' which suggests it is designed to minimize or avoid leaving marks on surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in on shorter walks.
Slight discomfort after first use
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The Omni-Grip sole is designed for dry and moderately wet conditions. For very slick or icy surfaces, consider alternative footwear or traction aids.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, compatible with standard hiking socks. Not compatible with specialized orthotics unless they fit within the existing shoe volume.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud from the leather and mesh upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Waterproofing/Protection: For enhanced water resistance and stain protection, consider applying a leather and fabric protector spray suitable for hiking footwear. Reapply periodically.
- Laces: Inspect laces regularly for wear and tear and replace as needed.
