Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter conditions?

Yes, the OutDry technology provides excellent weather protection against rain and slush, though they are not specifically insulated for sub-zero temperatures.

How do I maintain the waterproof integrity?

Keep the shoes clean and avoid exposing them to high heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane over time.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.

Are these boots waterproof?

The shoes feature OutDry technology, making them fully waterproof, though the laces themselves are standard and will absorb water.

How deep are the lugs on the outsole?

The outsole features a hike-specific tread pattern with 5mm lug heights for deep traction.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe area

Ensure the laces are tied securely to seal the tongue area and check that the OutDry membrane has not been punctured by sharp debris.

Reduced grip on smooth surfaces

Clean the Adapt Trax outsole thoroughly to remove packed-in mud, gravel, or organic debris that may be obstructing the 5mm lugs.

Internal odors

Remove the OrthoLite Eco insoles and let them air dry separately; wash them in mild soapy water if necessary to refresh the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your footwear, properly tighten the laces to activate the Navic Fit system during your first use. For maintenance, remove surface dirt after each hike using a soft brush. If the shoes become heavily soiled, wash them by hand using mild soap and cold water; avoid using a washing machine, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane. Always air-dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can crack the materials and deform the foam midsole.
