FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These are the 'WP' (Waterproof) version, designed to offer water resistance. While they can handle light moisture and splashes, they are not fully submersible.
What type of terrain are these best suited for?
They are designed for hiking and perform well on varied terrains, including trails, rocky paths, and moderate inclines, with a focus on wet condition traction.
How do I choose the correct size?
The product details specify a UK size 13 for men. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary. Consider your usual hiking boot size and sock thickness.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they offer good traction, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes for stability and cushioning over long distances, not for the specific demands of technical trail running.
What is the benefit of DREAM midsole foam?
DREAM midsole foam provides superior cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to enhanced comfort during prolonged periods of walking and hiking.
How durable is the ripstop upper?
The ripstop upper is highly abrasion-resistant, designed to withstand snags and tears from trail debris like rocks and branches, contributing to the shoe's overall longevity.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the SURFACE CTRL™ outsole is clean. Mud or debris can affect grip. If the issue persists after cleaning, the outsole may be worn.
Discomfort or rubbing
Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks. Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. Consider thicker or thinner socks based on fit.
Upper material damage
Minor scuffs can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Significant tears may require professional repair or replacement, though the ripstop material is designed for durability.
