Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR is a versatile hiking shoe built for outdoor enthusiasts who navigate mixed terrain. Its primary advantage is the combination of reliable traction from the Trail Grip outsole and a water-repellent finish, making it excellent for varied trail conditions; however, note that while it handles light rain well, it is not a fully waterproof boot designed for deep submersion.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, which makes them water-resistant against light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof, so avoid deep puddles or stream crossings.
Are they suitable for winter hiking?
These shoes are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn. They do not have specialized insulation for sub-zero temperatures.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash hiking shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam midsole and adhesives. Hand cleaning is best.
How do I choose the right size?
The Awe Hiker typically runs true to size. We recommend measuring your foot at the end of the day when it is slightly swollen to ensure the best fit while wearing your preferred hiking socks.
Are they good for steep rocky terrain?
While the Trail Grip outsole provides good traction, these are lightweight hiking shoes intended for general trail use rather than technical rock scrambling.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the upper fabric.
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the shoe and re-apply a compatible DWR spray to restore water repellency.
Shoes feel slippery on muddy terrain.
Ensure the tread is free of debris. Use a stiff brush to clear mud or pebbles lodged in the lugs of the Trail Grip outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Awe Hikers provide peak performance, it is important to break them in on short walks before heading out on long excursions. These shoes fit true to size for most adults, though you should pair them with proper moisture-wicking hiking socks to enhance the breathability benefits.
Care Instructions:
- Remove surface dirt after every hike using a soft-bristled brush.
- Clean the outsoles with warm water to maintain grip.
- Air dry the shoes at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp materials.
- If the water repellency diminishes, re-apply a DWR spray designed for synthetic footwear once the shoes are completely clean and dry.
