Regatta Vendeavour Hiking Shoes - Green - UK 12

The Vendeavour shoes offer good comfort for day hikes and moderate distances. For multi-day treks with heavy packs or very challenging terrain, you might consider a more robust boot with additional ankle support and advanced cushioning.

Keep the shoes clean and dry them naturally after each use. Periodically applying a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment designed for outdoor footwear will help maintain the Isotex fabric's water-repellency.

The shoes are primarily made of durable Polyester, featuring seam-sealed, waterproof Isotex fabric.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membranes, adhesives, and materials. It is best to clean them manually with a brush and damp cloth.

For optimal comfort and performance, wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from materials like wool or synthetic blends. These help manage sweat and prevent blisters.

Refer to standard UK men's sizing charts. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for comfort during descents, typically about a thumb's width between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Check if the lacing is too tight and adjust as needed.

While waterproof, extreme submersion or prolonged heavy rain can eventually saturate the materials. Ensure laces are tied securely and check for any visible damage to the seam seals. Allow shoes to dry completely and consider re-applying waterproofing treatment.

Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris, as this can impair traction. The lug pattern is designed for grip, but on extremely slick surfaces like wet polished rock or ice, caution is always advised.
