Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoe - Blue - UK 6

Yes, the Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoes feature a waterproof membrane upper specifically designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions, such as rain and puddles.

They are ideal for trail walks, daily outdoor adventures, and general use in damp or rainy weather. Their design provides comfort and grip for moderate outdoor activities.

It is recommended to clean the synthetic upper and outsole with a soft damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and waterproof properties.

As a low-cut walking shoe, the Gelert Horizon Low WP provides flexibility and comfort for the foot, but offers minimal ankle support compared to mid or high-cut walking boots.

The shoes are equipped with a rugged moulded outsole, designed to provide strong and reliable grip on various terrains, including dirt paths, gravel, and wet surfaces.

While they offer waterproof protection, these shoes are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. They can handle light snow, but for deep snow or very cold temperatures, insulated boots would be more appropriate.

First, check if water might be entering from the top opening (e.g., over the ankle in deep puddles). If not, inspect the waterproof membrane for signs of damage or wear, especially if the shoes are older. Ensure socks are not wicking moisture from outside.

Adjust the classic lacing system. Try loosening or tightening specific sections to relieve pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for walking, as thin or very thick socks can affect fit. Consider breaking them in gently if they are new.

Clean the rugged moulded outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that might be reducing grip. Regularly check the tread pattern for excessive wear, which can reduce traction on challenging surfaces.
