FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the waterproof lining and high-traction outsole make them suitable for mixed-terrain winter hiking, though they are not insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How should I clean the memory foam insoles?
Remove the insoles and wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry completely before reinserting them into the shoes.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the stock memory foam insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
While the memory foam provides immediate comfort, the outer materials may take a few short walks to soften and conform perfectly to your foot shape.
Are they machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the agitation and heat can damage the waterproof lining and the structural adhesives.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective over time
Dirt buildup can clog the pores of the waterproof material. Clean the exterior thoroughly and apply a specialized waterproofing treatment if recommended by the manufacturer.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Ensure your laces are not overtightened across the bridge of the foot. Re-lace the shoes using different eyelet configurations to distribute pressure more evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Coniston shoes, proper care is essential. When you first receive them, adjust the lace-up system to find the right tension for your foot shape, ensuring the padded collar sits snugly without pressing into the ankle bone. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use and wipe down with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh detergents that can degrade the waterproofing. Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause materials to crack or lose their shape.
