FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow the shoes to air dry naturally. For suede, use a suede brush.
Can I use these shoes for running?
While these shoes are suitable for walking and hiking, they are not specifically designed for running. Consider a running-specific shoe for optimal performance.

Water is entering the shoes.
Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Ensure the shoes are properly laced and not worn excessively in deep water. Apply a waterproofing spray periodically.
