FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy backpacking?
The Jasper Zionic is designed more as a versatile outdoor sneaker and light hiking shoe. For heavy backpacking with significant weight, shoes with more robust ankle support and a stiffer sole might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede cleaner according to its instructions, and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing or soaking.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or different insoles for added support or cushioning.
What does 'Eco Anti-Odor' mean?
This technology uses naturally occurring, non-toxic microbes to break down odor-causing bacteria within the footwear, helping to keep your shoes smelling fresh without harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Jasper Zionic is not fully waterproof. The suede and synthetic upper offer some resistance to light moisture, but they are not designed for submersion or heavy rain. Water-resistant treatments can be applied, but care should be taken with suede.
What is the lug depth on the outsole?
The rubber outsole features 4mm lugs, designed to provide good traction on a variety of surfaces.
How do the stability shanks improve performance?
Stability shanks are embedded within the midsole to provide torsional rigidity and underfoot support, preventing excessive foot twisting on uneven terrain and reducing fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. The lacing system can be adjusted for a more personalized fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if the shoe's width is suitable for your foot.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from mud or debris. While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. For significant wet conditions, consider waterproofing treatments (test on an inconspicuous area first).
Suede material becoming stiff after getting wet
Allow shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. If stiffness persists, a specialized suede conditioner might be beneficial.
Unpleasant odor persists despite Eco Anti-Odor technology
Remove and air out the insoles regularly. Ensure feet are dry before putting on the shoes. Consider using an anti-odor spray specifically designed for footwear.

Care:
- Suede Upper: Brush regularly with a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.
- Lining and Insoles: The removable foam insoles can be taken out and aired to help prevent odors. They can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a mild soap to remove mud and debris, ensuring optimal grip for future use.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can damage the materials.
