Combining advanced moisture management with superior cushioning, it excels at providing steady footing and all-day comfort during trail excursions, though it is best suited for dry or light rain conditions rather than heavy-duty submersion.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, they feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment which is ideal for light rain and morning dew, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy rain or submersion.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild brush is the best way to maintain the structural integrity and DWR coating.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, lightweight polyester, with several components such as laces and lining made from 100% recycled materials.
How should I clean the outsole?
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove mud from the grip patterns to ensure maximum traction for your next hike.
Are these suitable for gym use?
While they are very comfortable, their outsole is specifically designed for trail surfaces and may wear down faster on indoor gym floors or asphalt.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency over time
Reapply a technical DWR spray specifically designed for outdoor footwear after a thorough cleaning.
Accumulation of debris inside
Ensure the collar is snugly laced and consider using gaiters if hiking in sandy or loose rock conditions.
Discomfort during long hikes
Check your lacing tension and ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks to prevent friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first outing, ensure the shoes are properly broken in with shorter walks to allow the padding to contour to your feet. Because the upper features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, avoid cleaning with harsh detergents that can strip the treatment. Instead, use a soft brush to remove dried mud and wipe with a damp cloth. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the foam midsole and fabric.
