FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature LWG certified leather, which offers some natural water resistance. However, they are not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions, consider additional waterproofing treatments or footwear specifically designed for extreme wet environments.
What is LWG certification?
LWG stands for Leather Working Group. This certification indicates that the leather used in the shoes has been produced in tanneries that adhere to environmental best practices and standards for responsible leather manufacturing.
How do I clean the shoes?
To clean, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For more stubborn dirt, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely.
What type of hiking are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for day hikes, moderate trails, and general outdoor walking where comfort and support are prioritized over technical performance.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes.
What is the primary benefit of the Max Prt LWG series?
The primary benefit is the combination of Skechers' comfort technology with durable, responsibly sourced leather suitable for various hiking conditions, offering good support and traction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
Allow for a break-in period of a few short walks. Adjust lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure correct size is being worn.
Traction seems inadequate on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Check that the tread pattern is not significantly worn down. These shoes are designed for moderate traction; extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.
Leather appears dry or worn.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to moisturize the leather. Clean the shoes before conditioning for best results.
