Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for varied conditions including cooler weather. However, they are not insulated winter boots and may require additional warm socks for very cold temperatures.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoes should feel snug but not tight. There should be enough room to wiggle your toes. It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The approximate weight is 460 grams for a size UK 8.5.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn mud, a damp cloth with mild soap and water is recommended. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane, midsole cushioning, and adhesives.

What is the midsole drop?

The midsole drop is 10 mm, with a heel height of 32 mm and a forefoot height of 22 mm.

How durable is the ripstop upper?

The ripstop upper is designed for durability and resistance to tearing, offering protection against abrasion from rocks and rough terrain.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite waterproof claims

Ensure laces are tied properly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seals. Clean the shoes as per care instructions, as dirt can sometimes affect membrane performance.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or stiff

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase distance. Ensure the correct size and fit; consider using different socks if needed.

Traction is reduced on certain surfaces

Clean the Continental™ rubber outsole to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that might be trapped in the treads. The outsole is designed for optimal grip, but excessive build-up can impede performance.

Laces are difficult to keep tied

Ensure laces are being tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing the laces with a textured or more robust pair if they are slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  3. Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for long-lasting performance. To maintain its effectiveness, follow the cleaning instructions carefully. Avoid using waxes or silicone-based treatments on the ripstop upper, as these can clog the membrane's pores.
