FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment and HH Aqua-Shield technology, which makes them highly water-resistant for light rain and trail moisture, but they are not fully waterproof for submersion.
Can I use these for running?
While they are lightweight, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes and provide specific traction and support features better suited for trekking than high-impact running.
How do I clean the polyester upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains. Avoid machine washing or drying.
Are the outsoles non-marking?
Yes, they feature durable non-marking rubber outsoles suitable for various environments.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The HH Flow foam midsole is designed to offer a supportive, cushioned platform suitable for standard foot arches.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the upper
The factory DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the shoe thoroughly and reapply a synthetic-safe DWR spray.
Loss of traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole lugs for embedded rocks or caked mud, which can compromise the grip performance.
Discomfort or hotspots
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks of appropriate thickness and that the laces are adjusted to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Awe Hiker DWR shoes last for many seasons, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them around the house or on short walks to allow the foam midsole to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After hikes, remove loose dirt using a soft brush. If muddy, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the adhesives.
- DWR Maintenance: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the upper, reapply a spray-on DWR treatment designed for synthetic outdoor footwear to restore weather resistance.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
