FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

While they feature waterproof protection, they are designed as a general-purpose hiking shoe and may not provide the insulation needed for deep snow or sub-zero temperatures.

How do I know if the waterproofing is still working?

If water beads up on the surface of the fabric, the DWR coating is active. If water soaks into the fabric, you may need to reapply a specialized water-repellent spray.

Can I use custom insoles in these shoes?

Yes, the factory insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for orthotics or custom inserts if needed.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Most users find them to be standard sizing, but it is recommended to account for slightly thicker hiking socks when selecting your size.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use hand cleaning methods only.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe during heavy rain

Ensure the shoe is fully laced and that your pants overlap the collar to prevent water from running inside from the top.

Loss of traction on steep inclines

Clear any mud or debris stuck in the lugs of the SURFACE CTRL outsole, as packed-in dirt can reduce grip.

Discomfort or hot spots after a long hike

Check your sock choice and ensure the laces are not too tight over the bridge of the foot, adjusting tension as your feet swell throughout the day.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for high-mileage comfort
  • Reliable waterproof protection for wet weather
  • Aggressive traction provided by the SURFACE CTRL outsole
  • Durable toe protection for rough terrain

Cons

  • Slightly heavier than minimalist trail runners
  • Requires a brief break-in period for the padding
  • Best suited for outdoor use rather than urban pavement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, wear your preferred hiking socks when testing the shoes for size. Since they are waterproof, avoid using harsh detergents that can degrade the membrane's performance. Clean the shoes by gently scrubbing away dried mud with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Always air dry in a well-ventilated space away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause materials to warp or adhesives to fail. Check the laces for wear periodically to maintain a secure fit.
