Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claims
Ensure the GORE-TEX® membrane has not been compromised. Check for any tears or damage. Make sure laces and tongue are properly secured to prevent water ingress from the top. If the issue persists after cleaning and drying, the waterproof membrane may be compromised.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be hindering grip. Inspect the tread pattern for excessive wear. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks before undertaking long hikes. Check that socks are appropriate and free of wrinkles. The removable insole can be replaced with a custom orthotic if needed for specific support.
Debris entering the shoe
Ensure the bellows tongue is properly positioned and secured. Lace the shoes snugly to create a tighter seal around the ankle. Consider using gaiters for very loose or sandy terrain.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For a more thorough clean, use a damp cloth or sponge with cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Air dry shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain the GORE-TEX® performance, periodically clean the shoes according to instructions. Avoid applying waxes or silicones unless specifically recommended for GORE-TEX® footwear, as these can impede breathability.
- Odour Control: The Cleansport NXT™ treatment helps manage odor. Regular airing and cleaning will help maintain its effectiveness.
