Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that is designed to be fully waterproof while maintaining breathability.
While designed primarily for hiking, the responsive LIGHTMOTION cushioning makes them suitable for fast-paced hiking or light trail running.
Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and wipe down with a damp cloth; air dry in a well-ventilated area.
They are designed to provide maximum traction on wet, rocky, and technical terrain.
It is generally recommended to account for the thickness of moisture-wicking hiking socks, which may influence your preferred fit.
Check that perspiration is not the cause, or inspect the outer membrane for significant tears that may have compromised the waterproofing.
Use a double knot or a reef knot to ensure laces remain secure during intense movement on technical terrain.
Consider pairing the shoes with low-profile gaiters to seal the gap between the shoe collar and your ankle.
To ensure the best performance from your hiking shoes, ensure you have the correct size for your foot shape; these are designed for standard adult male sizing. When breaking in the shoes, wear them on shorter, moderate trails before attempting a long-distance expedition to allow the materials to adapt to your foot. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial detergents, as these can compromise the waterproof GORE-TEX lining. After muddy hikes, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or open flames, which can cause the synthetic upper materials to warp or become brittle.
