FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While they are waterproof, they are not heavily insulated. They are best for spring, summer, and autumn use.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Clean them by hand only.
Do they provide arch support?
Yes, the Techlite midsole is designed to provide contouring support and long-lasting cushioning.
Is the outsole non-marking?
Yes, the Omni-Grip rubber is specifically formulated to be non-marking for versatility.
What is the weight of these shoes?
They are categorized as lightweight, specifically designed to reduce bulk and strain compared to traditional leather hiking boots.
Troubleshooting
Closure system keeps loosening during the hike
Ensure the hook and loop strips are clear of debris, lint, or dirt which can reduce grip strength.
Feeling moisture inside after long periods of rain
Verify that your socks are moisture-wicking synthetic or wool; cotton socks absorb sweat and hold it against the foot, making it feel like a leak.
Slight discomfort at the ankle collar
Loosen the strap slightly and ensure your socks cover the ankle area to prevent direct friction against the shoe material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the hook and loop straps while standing to ensure the shoe accommodates the natural swelling of your feet during exercise.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried debris. Wipe the leather and mesh areas with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as this can crack the leather and damage the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
