FAQs
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It's crucial to try the shoes on before purchasing, as sizing labels (US/Euro) may differ from the UK size. Wear the type of socks you would typically use for hiking when trying them on.
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The Gore-Tex provides waterproofing, but these shoes are not specifically insulated for extreme winter conditions. They are best suited for three-season use or milder winter conditions when paired with appropriate socks.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and waterproof membrane. Clean them manually with a damp cloth.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
Re-waterproofing is recommended annually or when you notice water no longer beading on the surface, especially after deep cleaning.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
With proper care and regular use on varied terrain, these durable shoes can last several years. Lifespan depends heavily on usage frequency and intensity.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
Merino wool or synthetic hiking socks are recommended. They help manage moisture and provide cushioning, complementing the shoe's features.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside.
Ensure the Gore-Tex membrane is intact. Check for any damage to the shoe. Clean the shoes and allow them to dry completely. Consider using a waterproofing treatment for the exterior.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
Verify you have the correct size by trying them on with hiking socks. Adjust lacing for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes.
Loss of grip on slippery surfaces.
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
