FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?
The Transport 2 is best suited for light to moderate hiking on well-maintained trails and general walking. For technical or highly demanding terrain, more robust hiking boots may be required.
How do I clean the shoes?
Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Remove insoles and wash separately if needed. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
What is the benefit of the quick-toggle lace system?
The quick-toggle lace system offers convenience and speed, allowing for easy on-and-off and quick adjustments without the need for traditional knot-tying. It's ideal for active lifestyles where time and ease are valued.
How long does the water repellency last?
The durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment is applied topically and its effectiveness can decrease over time with use and cleaning. Reapplication of a suitable DWR spray is recommended to maintain water resistance.
Can I replace the quick-toggle laces with standard laces?
Yes, traditional laces are included with the shoes, allowing you to replace the quick-toggle system if you prefer a more traditional lacing method or need to swap them out.
What does 'sustainably minded details' mean for this shoe?
It refers to the use of eco-friendly materials, such as a midsole made with 30% sugarcane EVA and an outsole constructed from 30% recycled materials. Additionally, many fabric components are made from 100% recycled polyester.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment, which helps to repel light moisture and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and may not keep your feet dry in heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose with quick-toggle laces.
Adjust the toggle by sliding it up or down the laces. For a more secure fit, ensure the laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets before adjusting the toggle. If a precise fit is crucial, consider switching to the included traditional laces.
Reduced water repellency after several uses.
The topical DWR treatment can wear off. Reapply a PFC-free/PFAS-Free water repellent spray suitable for footwear, following the product's instructions. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry before application.
Squeaking noise during walking.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or slightly loosening the laces. If the noise persists, check for any debris caught in the sole or between components. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Quick-toggle lace comes undone unexpectedly.
Ensure the toggle mechanism is fully engaged and locked. If the lace material is excessively smooth, it might slip. Check that the lace is properly seated within the toggle. If the issue persists, consider using the traditional laces provided.
