FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature the RAIN.RDY waterproof technology, which is designed to keep your feet dry in rainy or wet conditions.
Do I need to break these shoes in before a long hike?
The Eastrail 2.0 is designed to be comfortable right out of the box, requiring virtually no break-in time for most users.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is generally recommended to hand clean with a soft brush and water to protect the integrity of the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
While they offer protection against moisture, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. You may need thicker socks for colder climates.
What does the gusseted tongue do?
The gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, preventing water, sand, and small rocks from entering the shoe through the lace area.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite the RAIN.RDY feature
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to pull the gusseted tongue against your ankle. Check if the upper mesh has any punctures or tears that would compromise the waterproof seal.
Feeling discomfort or pressure points during a hike
Adjust the lace tension across different sections of the foot. Since these shoes have a structured upper, ensure you are wearing the correct thickness of hiking sock to prevent excessive movement.
Loss of traction on wet rock surfaces
Check the outsole for mud or debris packed into the lugs. Clean the outsole with a stiff brush to restore the full grip potential of the Traxion technology.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your hiking shoes, proper care is essential.
- Cleaning: Wipe away excess mud with a soft brush after every hike. Use lukewarm water and a mild detergent if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the RAIN.RDY finish.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth on the fabric.
- Compatibility: These shoes are standard fit; wear moisture-wicking synthetic or wool-blend hiking socks for the best performance. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can compromise the effectiveness of the waterproof lining.
