FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for general walking, not just hiking?

Yes, their comfort, support, and grip make them suitable for general walking, especially if you anticipate encountering wet or uneven surfaces.

How do I clean the CLIMACOOL system?

The CLIMACOOL technology is integrated into the shoe's materials. Cleaning the shoe with a damp cloth as recommended will help maintain its functionality.

What is the midsole drop and why is it important?

The midsole drop is 6mm (20mm in the heel, 14mm in the forefoot). This relatively low drop promotes a more natural foot positioning and can enhance ground feel during activities.

Can I use these shoes in cold weather?

While they are designed for cooling and moisture-wicking, they may not provide sufficient insulation for very cold conditions. They are best suited for mild to warm weather or activities where getting wet is expected.

What is the weight of these shoes?

The shoes weigh approximately 269 grams for a size 42 2/3, making them lightweight for their category.

How does the drainage system work?

The drainage system is designed with specific channels or openings within the shoe structure to allow water to exit quickly, preventing waterlogging and keeping your feet drier.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or narrow

Loosen the laces, especially over the forefoot, and ensure they are adjusted evenly. If the issue persists, consider if the standard fit is suitable for your foot width.

Reduced grip on very smooth, wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. For extreme conditions, additional traction aids might be necessary, but the standard grip is designed for most wet terrains.

Feet feel damp despite quick-drying materials

Check that the drainage system is not blocked and that sweat is being effectively wicked. Ensure socks worn are also moisture-wicking. The CLIMACOOL system works best with appropriate accompanying footwear.

  • Effective moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties.
  • Provides good support and cushioning for hiking.
  • Durable construction suitable for outdoor activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure a comfortable fit by adjusting the standard lace closure. The weight is approximately 269g for a size 42 2/3, with a midsole drop of 6mm (20mm heel, 14mm forefoot).

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males engaging in hiking, water sports, and general outdoor activities. Designed for use on wet, slippery, and rocky terrains.

Care: To maintain performance, clean the shoes after use, especially if exposed to sand or mud. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the mesh upper and outsole. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the materials and waterproof membranes.
