FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The Peakfreak 2 is designed for varied trail conditions, but it is not insulated. It is best suited for spring, summer, and autumn hiking.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite Eco insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
How do I know if I have the right fit?
Your heel should remain stable without lifting while walking, and there should be a thumb's width of space at the front for your toes.
Does the OutDry technology make the shoe feel hot?
OutDry is designed to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape while blocking liquid water from entering.
How often should I clean the outsoles?
It is recommended to clear debris and mud from the 5mm lugs after every hike to maintain optimal grip performance.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is laced correctly to keep the gaiter area snug; verify that the OutDry membrane has not been punctured by sharp debris.
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Tighten the laces through the midfoot eyelets to engage the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM, which should lock your foot in place.
Accumulation of odor
Remove the OrthoLite insoles and allow them to air out; clean the interior with a mild soap solution and allow to fully dry.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproofing capabilities
- Reliable traction on slick and dry terrain
- Lightweight yet stable construction
- Breathable design for all-day comfort
Cons
- Requires break-in time to optimize the NAVIC fit
- Specifically tuned for trail use, less ideal for urban pavement
- May feel stiff compared to casual athletic shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, tighten the laces specifically through the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM eyelets to secure the midfoot before hitting the trail. For care, avoid machine washing the shoes, as this can degrade the OutDry waterproof membrane. Instead, rinse off mud using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, which can damage the specialized foam midsoles and mesh materials. Ensure the OrthoLite insoles are removed to dry separately after particularly damp hikes.
