FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

These shoes offer excellent waterproofing and good traction, making them suitable for wet and cold conditions. However, for deep snow or extreme cold, insulated winter boots might provide better warmth and support.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX material?

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the shoes. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the primary benefit of the GORE-TEX material?

The primary benefit is providing a highly effective waterproof barrier while maintaining breathability, keeping your feet dry from both external moisture and internal sweat.

Can these shoes be used for everyday casual wear?

Yes, the ACG Mountain Fly Low GORE-TEX shoes have a versatile design that is suitable for casual wear in addition to outdoor activities.

What UK shoe size do these correspond to?

This specific guide entry details the UK size 6.5.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is designed for durable traction on various terrains, intended to withstand regular hiking use. However, extreme abrasion can eventually wear down any rubber compound.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

This model is available in various colorways, including Kaki Barely Volt with Grey and Green accents. Please check product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX

Ensure laces are tightened properly to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If sweat is the cause, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks and understand that high activity levels can still lead to some internal moisture.

Traction is poor on certain surfaces

Clean the outsole treads of mud or debris. The grip may vary depending on the specific surface; these shoes are designed for a balance of grip and durability across various conditions.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear

Allow for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness for your fit.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a durable alternative suitable for outdoor footwear. Consider using lace locks to reduce wear on the laces.

  • Comfortable for extended wear during hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no special setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit, as a proper fit is crucial for performance and preventing blisters. It's recommended to wear them for shorter walks initially to break them in.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for hiking and outdoor activities, these shoes are compatible with various trail conditions. They can be paired with standard hiking socks. The GORE-TEX material is breathable, but for extremely hot weather, lighter, non-waterproof shoes might be preferable.

Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane and overall condition:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane.
  3. Waterproofing Treatment: Periodically, you may want to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product instructions for the DWR treatment.
