Full details

Their key benefit is providing a reliable grip and comfort in dry or light rain conditions, making them versatile for various trails. A potential caveat is that they are best suited for light to moderate conditions, not heavy downpours or extreme off-roading. These lightweight shoes feature a water-repellent DWR-treated upper, a breathable construction, and HH Flow foam cushioning for comfort, along with HH Trail Grip for stability.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for waterproof conditions?

The shoes feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, which is effective against light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and are best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions, not heavy downpours or river crossings.

What type of terrain are these shoes best for?

These shoes are designed for mixed terrains, including forest paths, gravel trails, and light mountain trails. The HH Trail Grip outsole provides reliable traction on such surfaces.

How do I clean the shoes?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Do these shoes contain recycled materials?

Yes, the Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR shoes feature 100% recycled laces, a 100% recycled polyester strap, 100% recycled lining, and a 100% recycled polyester Strobel construction.

What is the weight of these shoes?

The weight of these shoes is approximately 660.0 grams per pair.

Can I replace the laces if they get worn out?

Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced. The shoes come with 100% recycled laces, and you can purchase replacements to maintain the shoe's functionality and appearance.

Are these shoes good for running or just hiking?

These shoes are specifically designed as hiking shoes. While they are lightweight and comfortable, they provide the grip and support needed for hiking rather than the cushioning and flexibility typically required for running.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern using the 100% recycled laces. Try different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot shape.

Feet feel damp after walking in light rain

Ensure the DWR treatment is active. If it has diminished, clean the shoes and reapply a suitable DWR spray. Check that laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the HH Trail Grip outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be hindering traction. Ensure the rubber is not excessively worn down; if so, consider replacement.

Slight discomfort after a long hike

Ensure you have adequate socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before attempting long distances. The HH Flow foam should provide cushioning, but some adjustment period may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on mixed terrains thanks to the Trail Grip outsole.
  • Comfortable for extended wear due to HH Flow foam cushioning.
  • Offers protection from light rain and moisture with DWR treatment.
  • Incorporates recycled materials for an eco-conscious choice.
  • Lightweight construction enhances agility and reduces fatigue.

Cons

  • Water repellency is limited to light rain; not suitable for heavy downpours.
  • Primarily designed for mixed terrains, may not offer optimal performance on extreme rocky or muddy surfaces.
  • The focus on breathability might lead to cooler feet in very cold environments.
  • Durability for extremely rugged, high-mileage use might be a consideration for some.
  • Lacing system might require adjustment for a perfectly secure fit on steep inclines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup beyond ensuring they are laced to your preferred snugness. The 100% recycled laces can be adjusted for a secure fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these hiking shoes are best suited for mixed hiking terrains and moderate weather conditions. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.

Care: To maintain the performance of your Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR shoes:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For general cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Water Repellency: The DWR treatment may diminish over time. Reapply a suitable DWR waterproofing spray specifically designed for footwear to maintain water resistance after cleaning and drying.
