FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The SensiFit technology is designed for a snug and secure fit, which may run narrower than some other brands. They are generally best suited for average to narrow foot shapes.
How do I clean the Gore-tex lining?
The Gore-tex lining is integrated into the shoe. Clean the exterior as per the care instructions. The interior can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, ensuring thorough drying afterwards.
What is the primary benefit of the 3D advanced chassis?
The 3D advanced chassis provides enhanced stability and cushioning, helping to protect your feet from impacts and uneven terrain, allowing for more confident and agile movement on trails.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It's recommended to reapply treatment when you notice reduced water repellency, typically every few months of regular use or after heavy exposure to water.
Can these shoes be used for everyday walking?
Yes, while optimized for trail running and hiking, their comfort, support, and durable construction make them suitable for general everyday walking, especially in outdoor or urban environments where good traction is beneficial.
What is the lifespan of the Contagrip sole?
The lifespan of the Contagrip sole depends on usage, terrain, and user weight. With proper care and maintenance, they are designed for durability on rugged trails, but like all outsoles, they will eventually show wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them, focusing on even pressure distribution. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, the fit might not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced grip or slippery feel
Check the Contagrip soles for embedded debris. Clean them with water and a brush. If wear is significant, the grip may be compromised and professional inspection or replacement might be considered.
Feet feel wet inside the shoes
Verify that the Gore-tex membrane is intact. Ensure laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress. If the shoes have been submerged or heavily soaked, allow ample drying time. If wetness persists after drying, the waterproof membrane may be compromised.
Leather material appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner or waterproofing wax specifically designed for outdoor footwear. This will help restore moisture and maintain the material's integrity and water repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male hikers and trail runners. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks. While they are designed for trail use, they can also be worn for general outdoor activities where good grip and support are needed.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
