Full details
The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR is a versatile, lightweight hiking shoe engineered for outdoor enthusiasts who navigate mixed terrain. Featuring a water-repellent finish, breathable construction, and advanced cushioning, this shoe is an excellent companion for both casual park walks and established trail explorations. While it excels in comfort and agility, users should note that the DWR treatment is intended for light rain and moisture rather than heavy, sustained downpours or submerged conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, which makes them water-resistant against light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
These shoes are designed for breathability and mild conditions. They lack the heavy insulation required for cold or snowy winter environments.
How should I clean the recycled polyester upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.
Do the outsoles mark floors?
No, the shoes utilize non-marking rubber outsoles, making them suitable for indoor transitions.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit is standard for hiking performance. If you have wide feet, we recommend trying them on with your preferred hiking socks to ensure comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are absorbing water faster than usual
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the shoes thoroughly and apply a dedicated DWR spray treatment according to the spray manufacturer's instructions.
Feeling debris inside the shoe
Ensure the padded collar is snug against your ankle; consider using gaiters if hiking in loose, dusty, or pebbly conditions.
Outsole loses traction on mud
Clean the lugs using a stiff brush to remove compacted mud or debris that may be obstructing the grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes feature a technical upper, proper care is essential to maintain their functionality.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tightened evenly to distribute pressure across the top of the foot for a secure lockdown.
- Cleaning: Remove dried mud with a soft brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary; avoid the washing machine to protect the DWR finish.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning and materials.
- DWR Maintenance: Over time, the water-repellent effectiveness may decrease. Consider using a DWR spray treatment designed for technical hiking footwear to maintain protection.
- Fit: These shoes are sized for adult males; ensure you are wearing the appropriate hiking sock thickness when testing for the ideal fit.
