Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen AWE Hiker DWR is designed for adult male hikers seeking a reliable and versatile shoe for mixed terrains. Its key benefit is the combination of a secure grip and water-repellent upper, keeping you comfortable and stable on the trail. A potential caveat is that the water-repellency is best suited for dry or light rain conditions, not heavy downpours. This lightweight hiking shoe features a Trail Grip outsole for traction, a DWR-treated upper for moisture resistance, and HH Flow foam for cushioning.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
The AWE Hiker DWR features a water-repellent treatment effective for dry conditions and light rain. For heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, waterproof footwear would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a brush. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the main benefit of the HH Flow foam?
HH Flow foam is designed to provide excellent cushioning and shock absorption with every step, enhancing comfort during hikes.
Can I replace the laces if they get damaged?
Yes, the laces are replaceable. The shoe is equipped with 100% recycled polyester laces.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for mixed terrains, including forest paths, trails, and uneven park grounds, thanks to the HH Trail Grip outsole.
Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?
Yes, several components including laces, the recycled polyester strap, lining, and Strobel are made from 100% recycled polyester.
What does DWR stand for?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a treatment applied to fabrics that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray according to product instructions.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Trail Grip outsole is clean. Mud or debris can impede grip. Clean the soles with water and a brush.
Feet feel uncomfortable after a long hike
Check if the shoe size is correct. Ensure laces are tied appropriately for support. The HH Flow foam provides cushioning, but very long distances on extremely hard surfaces might still cause fatigue.
Shoes feel too warm during a hike
While breathable, the shoe's construction may be limiting in very high temperatures. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
