FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

They are suitable for rainy and slushy conditions due to the OutDry membrane, but they are not insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during long hikes.

Can I use these for trail running?

While the cushioning is responsive, these are primarily engineered for trekking and hiking; their weight and support structure are optimized for walking rather than running.

Is the material waterproof or water-resistant?

The OutDry construction makes these fully waterproof, meaning the membrane is bonded directly to the outer shell to prevent water from entering the shoe.

How often should I replace the insoles?

If you notice the cushioning feels flat or you start experiencing discomfort, replace the OrthoLite insoles with a compatible aftermarket version.

Troubleshooting

Reduced waterproof effectiveness over time

Dirt buildup can clog the pores of the fabric; clean the exterior thoroughly to restore breathability and waterproof performance.

Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents

Ensure the laces are tightened properly, focusing on the midfoot eyelets to fully engage the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM.

Excessive moisture accumulation inside

Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool hiking socks; cotton socks will hold sweat and negate the breathability of the OutDry membrane.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for wet conditions
  • Superior grip on uneven terrain due to 5mm lugs
  • Highly responsive cushioning reduces foot fatigue
  • Secure midfoot lockdown prevents slippage
  • Lightweight construction minimizes exertion

Cons

  • Technical design may feel overly stiff for casual street wear
  • Requires proper cleaning to maintain breathability
  • Not intended for extreme high-altitude mountaineering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Peakfreak II shoes perform at their peak, start by ensuring a proper fit; the NAVIC FIT system should feel snug across the midfoot without restricting blood flow. For maintenance, remove loose dirt after every hike using a soft brush. If the shoes become muddy, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive bonds and the OutDry membrane's integrity. Air dry your shoes naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight.
