FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
The CLIMAPROOF technology offers water resistance, making them suitable for damp conditions and light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or full submersion, they may not keep feet completely dry.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
They are best suited for day hikes and light trekking on varied terrain, including trails, gravel, and moderate inclines. The TRAXION outsole provides good grip on most surfaces.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking. Ensure there is a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
What is the purpose of the EVA midsole?
The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, helping to reduce fatigue and enhance comfort during long walks on uneven surfaces.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these hiking shoes as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membranes.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
The weight is approximately 367.7 grams, which contributes to a comfortable feel without being overly heavy for day hikes.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 9 mm, with a heel height of 28 mm and a forefoot height of 19 mm. This measurement indicates the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite CLIMAPROOF
Ensure laces are tied tightly and the tongue is properly positioned. If the shoe has been submerged or exposed to heavy rain for extended periods, some moisture may still penetrate. Check for any damage to the upper or seams.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
The TRAXION outsole provides excellent grip, but performance can be diminished by excessive mud or wear. Clean the outsole grooves to remove debris. If the tread is significantly worn, consider replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
This can be due to a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase the length of your hikes. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly to prevent pressure points.
