FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the MTE (Mountain Edition) design incorporates cold-weather functionality, making them suitable for colder temperatures.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by air drying.
What is the main advantage of the GORE-TEX material?
GORE-TEX provides excellent waterproof protection while remaining breathable, keeping your feet dry from both external moisture and internal sweat.
How does the Vibram XS Trek outsole perform?
The Vibram XS Trek outsole is designed for optimal balance of grip and durability on various terrains, offering reliable traction in both wet and dry conditions.
Can the speed lacing system be replaced?
The speed lacing system is integrated into the shoe's design. While typically durable, if you encounter issues, it's best to consult customer support for repair or replacement options.
What type of socks are recommended with these hiking shoes?
We recommend wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks, which will work best with the GORE-TEX breathable properties to keep your feet comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into shoes
Ensure laces are fully tightened and that the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check for any tears or damage. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary.
Laces not staying secure
Check the speed lacing mechanism for any debris or damage. Ensure the knot or locking mechanism is properly engaged. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the Vibram outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be hindering traction. Inspect the tread for excessive wear.
Suede material appearing discolored or stained
Use a suede eraser for dry marks and a damp cloth with mild soap for tougher stains. Always allow to air dry completely and brush with a suede brush to restore texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed as hiking shoes, they are compatible with standard hiking socks. They are built for adult male foot sizes.
Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX and suede materials, we recommend the following:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, especially after extensive use in wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX and suede footwear to maintain their water-repellent properties.
