Regatta Holcombe III Walking Shoes - Brown - UK 5

No, the Regatta Holcombe III Walking Shoes feature water-resistant technology, meaning they are designed to repel water and keep your feet drier in damp conditions and light rain. They are not fully waterproof and may not prevent water entry during prolonged heavy downpours or submersion.

Wipe off dirt and mud with a damp cloth or soft brush. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and water-resistant treatment.

These shoes are ideal for everyday walking, light to moderate hiking on trails, park walks, and general outdoor leisure activities where comfort, traction, and some weather protection are desired.

The XLT midsole is a lightweight EVA foam cushioning system designed by Regatta. It provides enhanced comfort and impact absorption, particularly at the heel strike, helping to reduce fatigue and protect joints during activities.

The TECFOAM open foam insock is a specialized insole that offers superior underfoot comfort. Its open-cell foam structure allows for better air circulation and cushioning, adapting to the foot for personalized comfort.

The water resistance is integrated into the material but can diminish over time with wear and exposure. Regular cleaning and periodic re-treatment with a suitable footwear water-repellent spray can help maintain its effectiveness.

The shoes are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. For heavier rain or deeper puddles, water may penetrate. Consider reapplying a water-resistant spray to the upper material, and avoid prolonged exposure to very wet conditions.

New shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter periods initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for walking.

Check the Duogrip outsole for excessive dirt or mud buildup between the lugs and clean thoroughly. Ensure the tread is not excessively worn. While designed for superior traction, extreme conditions can still challenge grip.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove insocks and air them separately if possible. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays designed for footwear. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
