Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR is a versatile hiking shoe designed for adult outdoor enthusiasts who frequently traverse mixed terrains. Its primary benefit is the combination of a reliable Trail Grip outsole and a DWR-treated upper, providing stability and protection against light moisture while maintaining excellent breathability. A notable caveat is that while the shoes are water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof, making them best suited for dry or mild weather conditions rather than heavy downpours or submerged environments.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are water-repellent (DWR), meaning they will shed light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
These shoes are designed for versatility but are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures. They are best for spring, summer, and autumn use.
Can I use these for trail running?
While they provide great grip, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes and may feel heavier or less flexible than dedicated trail runners.
How do I clean the outsole?
Use a stiff brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with warm water to wipe away stubborn dirt from the rubber lugs.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal footbeds are removable, allowing you to insert your own orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency over time
The DWR coating wears off with use. Apply a specialized DWR re-waterproofing spray to the outer polyester fabric to restore its performance.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure your laces are tightened securely using the top eyelets, and check that you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks that are not too thin.
Debris getting inside the shoe
Consider using low-profile gaiters if hiking in loose scree or sandy conditions to close the gap at the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct fit, as hiking socks can be thicker than standard socks. We recommend breaking them in with a short walk before embarking on a long hike to ensure the heel lockdown is comfortable.
Compatibility: These are compatible with standard hiking socks, though mid-weight synthetic or wool-blend socks are recommended to enhance the moisture-wicking properties of the shoe.
Care: To maintain the DWR performance, avoid washing them in a machine. If they get muddy, allow the mud to dry and brush it off with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. If the water-repellency fades over time, you can refresh the DWR coating using a commercially available spray-on treatment.
