Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, they provide waterproof protection, but ensure you wear appropriate thermal socks as the shoe itself is not insulated.
How do I clean the muddy outsole?
Rinse the outsole with water and use a stiff brush to dislodge mud from the tread lugs.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they are very comfortable, they are designed as hiking shoes and may feel heavier than dedicated trail running gear.
Do they fit true to size?
They generally fit true to size, but consider the thickness of the hiking socks you intend to wear.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane is engineered to allow moisture vapor to escape while blocking liquid water.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during deep water crossings
While GORE-TEX is waterproof, the shoe is not an immersion boot. Avoid submerging the foot above the collar line.
Feeling of pressure around the ankle
Adjust the lace tension at the higher eyelets. Ensure your socks are not bunched up inside the collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first trek, ensure the shoes are laced snugly to lock your heel in place, which prevents internal slipping. To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe the upper down with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dried mud. If the inside gets wet, remove the insoles and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the foam and membrane adhesives.
