These shoes feature a waterproof membrane, making them ideal for rainy days and damp conditions. While they offer good protection in wet weather, they are not specifically designed for extreme cold, snow, or ice without additional cold-weather gear.
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the synthetic materials. Always clean them with a soft damp cloth as per the care instructions.
The Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoes are best suited for trail walks, daily adventures, and general outdoor use on varied terrains. The rugged outsole provides strong grip on dirt paths, gravel, and uneven surfaces.
Regularly cleaning the shoes with a soft damp cloth helps maintain their performance. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or extreme heat, which can degrade the waterproof membrane. Ensure they air dry naturally after cleaning or exposure to water.
While the synthetic upper is generally flexible, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the shoes to fully conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort during longer walks.

While specific Gelert brand replacement laces may not be universally available, any standard walking shoe laces of similar length and style can be used as a suitable replacement.
Check if water is entering over the top of the shoe, for example, from deep puddles or heavy rain without appropriate leg coverings. Inspect the upper for any signs of damage or punctures that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Ensure proper care has been followed, as harsh cleaning agents can affect the waterproofing.
Clean the rugged moulded outsole thoroughly, as accumulated mud or debris can reduce traction. Regularly check the tread for excessive wear, which can naturally decrease grip over time. Adjust your walking style on particularly slippery surfaces.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking walking socks) that prevent chafing and provide cushioning. Re-adjust the classic lacing system to ensure it's not too tight or too loose. Consider if the shoe size is correct; while this guide is for UK 5.5, ensuring the right size for your foot is crucial for comfort. If discomfort persists, inspect for any internal foreign objects or manufacturing irregularities.
Getting started with your Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoes is straightforward. Simply use the classic lacing system to secure them comfortably to your feet. Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight, allowing for proper blood circulation and flexibility. The pull loop on the heel assists in easily slipping the shoes on.
These walking shoes are designed for adults and are ideal for a range of outdoor activities including trail walks, daily adventures, and rainy day wear. They are suitable for light to moderate terrains where reliable grip and waterproof protection are beneficial.
To ensure the longevity and performance of your shoes, proper care is essential. Clean your Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoes with a soft damp cloth. Gently wipe away any dirt or mud from the synthetic upper and the outsole. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and synthetic materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources, which can cause material degradation.
