Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very muddy conditions?
The Regatta Holcombe IEP Low shoes offer good water resistance, but their low-cut design means mud can enter from the top. For extremely muddy terrains, a mid-height boot might offer better protection.
How do I ensure the waterproof feature lasts?
Regularly clean the shoes and apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor footwear. Avoid machine washing or heat drying, which can compromise the waterproof membranes.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
They are ideal for rugged terrain, country walks, and general outdoor use where good grip and comfort are needed. The trainer design offers agility for varied paths.
Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?
Yes, the breathable design helps to keep feet fresh. However, like all footwear, prolonged strenuous activity in very hot weather can lead to discomfort.
What is the difference between IEP and standard Holcombe models?
IEP (Isotex, Waterproof, Breathable, Hydropel) indicates enhanced weather protection and water repellency features integrated into the shoe's design.
How much ankle support do these shoes provide?
As low-cut shoes, they offer minimal ankle support. They are designed for agility and movement, making them suitable for users who do not require significant ankle stabilization.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period of a few shorter walks. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose.
Feet getting wet during use.
Check for obvious damage to the shoe material or seams. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water ingress. Reapply waterproofing treatment if performance has degraded.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole to remove mud or debris that may be hindering grip. The angled lugs are designed for traction, but extreme conditions may still pose a risk.
Insole feels flat after extended use.
The moulded EVA footbed provides cushioning. If it flattens, consider replacing it with a supportive aftermarket insole for continued comfort.
