FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The ripstop upper is durable and protective, but it is not specifically rated as waterproof. They offer standard breathability for trail use.
How do I choose the correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose a size that leaves about a thumb's width of space at the toes to accommodate foot swelling during long hikes.
What is the weight of these shoes?
The EXPLOR Trail weighs approximately 14.25 oz per shoe.
Can I replace the laces?
The quick-toggle lacing system is integrated for a specific fit; it is recommended to use the provided cord system to maintain the shoe's intended performance.
What terrain are these best for?
They are ideal for technical trails, forest paths, and uneven ground where the deep lug traction and HOVR stability can provide maximum benefit.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose during activity
Ensure the toggle is fully locked and the excess cord is tucked away so it does not snag on trail debris.
Cushioning feels less responsive after many miles
Check if the midsole foam has compressed beyond its natural limit; remove the EVA sockliner and clean out trapped debris that may be affecting comfort.
Slippage on very slick surfaces
Ensure the Exogrip lugs are free of packed-in mud or clay, which can reduce the effectiveness of the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your EXPLOR Trail shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Adjustment: The quick-toggle lacing system is designed for a "set and forget" experience. Pull the toggle to tighten the cord until snug, then secure the locking mechanism. Ensure your heel is firmly against the back of the shoe to prevent blisters.
- Maintenance: After muddy hikes, allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can deform the foam and degrade the adhesive bonding.
- Cleaning: Brush off dried dirt with a soft bristle brush. Use warm water and a mild detergent for stubborn stains. Avoid machine washing, as this can compromise the structure of the TPU reinforcements.
