FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

These shoes are water-repellent due to their DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, which is designed for light rain and damp conditions. They are not fully waterproof and are not recommended for submersion or heavy rain.

Can I wear these for winter hiking?

These are lightweight hiking shoes designed for mild to moderate conditions. They do not have significant insulation, so they are best suited for warmer seasons or temperate climates.

What does the non-marking rubber outsole mean?

It means the rubber compound used will not leave scuff marks on indoor floors, making them convenient if you transition from the trail to an indoor setting.

Are the materials sustainable?

Yes, Helly Hansen incorporates recycled materials into the laces, lining, strap, and the Strobel construction of this model.

How should I clean the breathable upper?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot clean the upper. Avoid machine washing, as the agitation can compromise the shoe structure.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the upper

The DWR coating may have worn off. Apply a factory-approved DWR treatment spray to restore water repellency.

Accumulation of dirt in the tread

Use a stiff brush or a pressurized water hose (gentle setting) to clear out pebbles and mud trapped in the Trail Grip lugs.

Shoes feeling slippery on wet, smooth surfaces

Ensure the outsoles are clean and free of caked-on dirt, as the rubber grip performs best when the surface is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Awe Hiker DWR shoes, start by ensuring a proper fit; because they are used for hiking, leave just enough room in the toe box to accommodate slight foot swelling during long treks.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away loose mud and debris with a soft-bristled brush after every hike.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, which can warp materials.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR-safe spray if you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the upper.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the synthetic materials.
