FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their padded collar, tongue, IEP heel cushioning, and TECFOAM insock, these shoes are designed for superior comfort during extended periods of wear, making them ideal for long walks and daily use.
Can I use these for more challenging hikes?
These shoes are well-suited for general walking, day hikes, and light trekking on varied terrains due to their durable construction, grip, and protective features. For extremely rugged, technical, or multi-day backpacking trips, a dedicated hiking boot might offer more ankle support and rigidity.
How do I maintain the waterproof qualities?
Regularly clean off dirt and allow them to air dry. While the internal ISOTEX membrane provides waterproofing, the outer material's water repellency can be maintained or restored using a suitable footwear-specific waterproof spray or treatment.
What's the best way to clean these shoes?
Wipe off loose dirt with a brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use warm water with a mild soap and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents, machine washing, or submerging them completely. Let them air dry naturally.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
While designed for immediate comfort, it's always recommended to wear new walking shoes for shorter periods before embarking on long walks. This allows the materials to adapt to your foot shape and ensures optimal comfort.
Are these shoes true to size?
Based on standard sizing, these shoes are generally true to size for adult females. However, individual foot shapes vary, so it's advisable to check the sizing guide and consider trying them on, preferably with the type of socks you'd typically wear for walking.
What does "IEP" stand for?
IEP stands for "Internal EVA Pocket," which refers to a specific cushioning technology in the heel of the shoe designed to provide improved impact absorption and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside despite "waterproof" claim.
Ensure socks are wicking moisture away, as sweat can accumulate. Check for any physical damage to the shoe's membrane or upper. Clean and re-treat the outer material with a water-repellent spray if needed.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing.
Verify you have the correct size. Break in new shoes with shorter walks before attempting long distances. Experiment with different lacing techniques or thicker/thinner walking socks to find a better fit.
Loss of grip on slippery surfaces.
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear. Ensure the treads are clean of compacted mud or debris, which can reduce traction. For very icy or extremely wet conditions, additional traction aids might be necessary.

Care
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn mud, gently wipe with warm water and a mild soap solution. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Maintenance: Periodically check laces for wear and replace if necessary. For continued water repellency of the upper, consider using a suitable footwear protector spray after cleaning and drying, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight.
