Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Holcombe III hiking shoes are designed for female hikers seeking a durable, waterproof option for varied outdoor terrain. Featuring Isotex fabric technology and a specialized DuoGrip outsole, these shoes prioritize foot protection and stability on uneven surfaces. While they offer excellent cushioning through the EVA XLT midsole, users should ensure proper break-in time to fully appreciate the comfort provided by the TECFOAM footbed during longer treks.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth and a soft brush to protect the waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for most temperate weather and wet conditions, but they do not feature insulated linings for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The Holcombe III has a standard athletic fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them snug and might consider a half-size up if available.
What is the primary function of the Isotex fabric?
Isotex is a technology that creates a waterproof barrier while simultaneously remaining breathable to prevent sweat buildup.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat to prevent material degradation.
Do I need to apply a waterproof spray?
The shoes come treated with waterproof technology, but you can apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after significant wear to maintain the outer finish.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks rather than cotton, which holds moisture against the foot.
Slippery surface traction seems low
Check the outsole for caked-on mud or debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly with a brush to restore the grip pattern.
Shoe feels too tight
Verify that your lacing is not too tight at the forefoot. Re-lace the shoes using a lighter tension and consider if a thinner sock is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Holcombe III hiking shoes, start by wearing them around the house to allow the TECFOAM footbed to mold to your foot shape. When cleaning, avoid using a washing machine, as this can compromise the waterproof Isotex membrane. Instead, remove excess mud with a soft brush once dry and wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Store your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or crack.
