FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature an Omni-Tech waterproof breathable seam-sealed membrane bootie construction designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How long will the cushioning last?
The Techlite lightweight midsole is designed for long-lasting comfort and superior cushioning, providing sustained support throughout the life of the shoe under normal use.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
These shoes are best suited for moderate conditions. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider insulated winter boots. They offer good traction and waterproofing for shoulder seasons or milder winter days.
What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
Moisture-wicking socks made from wool or synthetic blends are recommended to complement the breathability of the shoes and help manage foot moisture.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
You can clean the mesh gently with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid soaking the shoes and allow them to air dry completely.
Will the rubber sole leave marks on indoor floors?
No, the Omni-Grip outsole is designed to be non-marking, making it suitable for use on various surfaces without leaving scuff marks.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after hiking in wet conditions.
While Omni-Tech is waterproof, extreme submersion or prolonged exposure to heavy rain might eventually lead to dampness. Ensure laces are tied securely and socks are moisture-wicking. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
These shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks around the house or on easy trails to gradually mold them to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.
Loss of traction on slippery surfaces.
The Omni-Grip outsole provides excellent traction, but effectiveness can be reduced by mud or debris. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip. For extremely slick surfaces, exercise caution.
Suede leather shows water spots or stains.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized leather cleaner or consider professional cleaning.

Care:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede and mesh. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, remove excess water and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and fabric to maintain the water-repellent properties of the shoe, especially after thorough cleaning.
