FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for prolonged rain?
The Gore-Tex membrane and quick-drying upper offer good protection against rain, but for very prolonged or heavy downpours, waterproof socks are recommended for maximum dryness.
How do I know if this shoe is the right size?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking. Ensure there is a little room at the toe, but your heel should not slip. The standard fit is designed for average-width feet.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and waterproofing. Hand clean with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the main advantage of CLIMACOOL?
CLIMACOOL actively wicks away sweat and regulates humidity to keep your feet cool and dry, enhancing comfort during warm-weather activities or intense exercise.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is designed for high traction on varied terrains, including wet and rocky surfaces. Durability is good for general hiking and outdoor use, but excessive abrasive use can lead to wear over time.
What does 'Mid' in the shoe name refer to?
'Mid' refers to the mid-cut design, which provides enhanced ankle support and protection compared to low-cut hiking shoes.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
While they offer good grip and cushioning, their primary design is for hiking. For dedicated trail running, shoes with a more specialized, lighter build might be preferred. However, they can perform adequately for moderate trail running.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp or sweaty.
Ensure CLIMACOOL technology is functioning optimally by keeping the shoe's interior free of debris. Check that laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. If external moisture is the cause, allow shoes to dry thoroughly.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, sand, or debris that may be impacting grip. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear.
Discomfort or pressure points.
Adjust the lace tension, particularly around the ankle and midfoot. Consider using different socks. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be suitable for your foot width.
Shoes retain water after immersion.
Ensure the drainage system is clear of obstructions. Allow ample time for the shoes to dry completely, preferably in a well-ventilated area.
