Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature an AQ lining specifically engineered to block water while allowing your feet to breathe.

Can I use these for running?

While they are comfortable, they are designed as hiking shoes and lack the specific motion-control features found in dedicated trail running shoes.

How do I choose the right size?

These shoes follow standard UK sizing for adults. We recommend wearing your preferred hiking socks when trying them on to ensure a proper fit.

Does the shoe have good grip on wet rock?

The OPTI-STUD technology provides reliable grip; however, caution should always be exercised on smooth, wet surfaces like mossy rocks.

Should I apply water-repellent spray?

Yes, reapplying a DWR treatment occasionally helps the outer material shed water, which helps the waterproof lining work more efficiently.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe during heavy rain

Check the outer material for dirt buildup, which can hide the waterproof membrane's effectiveness, and ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is still active.

General discomfort or rubbing

Verify that your socks are moisture-wicking and not too thick, and ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to secure the midfoot without being overly restrictive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable waterproof protection via AQ lining
  • High-quality cushioning with OrthoLite footbed
  • Excellent traction provided by OPTI-STUD rubber
  • Versatile design suitable for various light-to-moderate outdoor activities
  • Lightweight feel minimizes fatigue

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme alpine or heavy-duty mountaineering
  • May require a short break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Waterproofing performance may degrade over time without proper maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Expeditors last, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove mud and grit with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Do not submerge the shoes completely.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically treat the outer fabric with a water-repellent spray to maintain the bead-off effect.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent mildew buildup.
  5. Fit: Ensure you wear appropriate hiking socks to avoid rubbing; the shoes are designed for standard adult female foot profiles.
