FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?

Yes, the EVA midsole provides cushioning and support ideal for long-distance comfort on varied terrain.

How do I know if the regular fit is right for me?

A regular fit generally suits average-width feet. If you have significantly narrow or wide feet, it is recommended to try them on or consult a sizing guide before purchasing.

Can I wear these shoes in cold weather?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproof and windproof protection, which helps in cold conditions, but they are not insulated hiking boots. For very cold or snowy conditions, consider adding thermal socks.

How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing typically last?

The GORE-TEX membrane is very durable. With proper care, its waterproof and breathable properties should last for the intended lifespan of the shoe.

Are these shoes good for trail running?

While they offer good grip and support, they are primarily designed for hiking. For dedicated trail running, specialized trail running shoes might offer more flexibility and lighter weight.

What is the main advantage of the abrasion-resistant overlays?

These overlays are strategically placed to protect the shoe's upper material from scuffs and tears caused by rocks, roots, and other trail debris, thereby increasing the shoe's lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are adjusted properly. Try different lacing techniques. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape, and you may need to consider a different size or model.

Water is getting inside the shoes.

Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Ensure laces are tied securely. If the issue persists after checking for damage, contact customer support.

Reduced breathability or feet feel sweaty.

Ensure the shoe's interior is clean and free from debris. Verify that the GORE-TEX membrane is not clogged with dirt. Allow shoes to air out properly between uses.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

The grip is optimized for hiking trails. For very smooth or wet artificial surfaces, caution may be required. Ensure the outsole is clean, as mud or debris can affect traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane keeps feet dry.
  • Durable construction with abrasion-resistant overlays for longevity.
  • Comfortable cushioning from the EVA midsole for extended wear.
  • Secure fit with traditional lace closure.
  • Suitable for various hiking conditions.

Cons

  • Regular fit may not be ideal for very narrow or wide feet without trying them on.
  • While durable, extreme conditions might test the limits of the materials.
  • Lace closure requires manual adjustment.
  • Specific colourways and sizes may have limited availability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. Simply ensure they are laced to your preferred tightness for a secure fit before your activity.

Compatibility: Suitable for most adult male foot types with regular width. They are designed for hiking and trail walking activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid using heavy oils or waxes that could compromise its breathability. Periodic re-treatment of the outer material with a suitable waterproofing spray (compatible with GORE-TEX) can help maintain water repellency.
