FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and insulation, making them suitable for winter conditions and inclement weather. However, for deep snow or extreme cold, consider adding thermal socks or gaiters.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided, paying close attention to the UK sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Trying them on with your usual hiking socks is advisable.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While they offer good grip and support, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, shoes with a more flexible and lighter construction might be more appropriate.
What is the expected lifespan of the Vibram outsole?
The Vibram XS Trek rubber is known for its durability. With regular use and proper care, the outsole should provide reliable traction for many miles of hiking.
How often should I re-waterproof the suede?
It is recommended to re-waterproof the suede inserts periodically, especially after cleaning or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. Typically, this might be needed once or twice a season depending on usage.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary depending on individual foot shape. While they offer a standard fit, it's best to try them on with your typical hiking socks to assess comfort and width.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the shoes.
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check for any tears or damage. Condensation can sometimes occur; ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If the shoes are genuinely leaking, re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the suede and consider if the membrane has been compromised.
Traction feels poor on certain surfaces.
The Vibram XS Trek outsole is designed for versatility, but extreme conditions may vary. Ensure the tread is free from mud or debris that can reduce grip. For very icy conditions, consider microspikes or crampons designed for trail shoes.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.
These shoes require a break-in period. Wear them for progressively longer walks to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.
Suede material looks worn or discolored.
Clean gently with a suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner. Apply a suitable suede waterproofing spray to restore color and protection.
