FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
These trainers are designed for light outdoor use and offer rugged traction. For serious hiking on challenging terrain, dedicated hiking boots would be more appropriate. However, they are suitable for casual walks on park trails or similar surfaces.
How do I clean the knit upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
Will these keep my feet completely dry in heavy rain?
The shoes feature water-repellent protection, which is effective against light rain or splashes. They are not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What is the benefit of the Air Cooled Memory Foam insole?
The Air Cooled Memory Foam insole provides breathable cushioning and comfort for your feet, adapting to the shape of your foot for a personalized fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials, construction, and water-repellent properties.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain their condition and material integrity.
What does 'slip-on' construction mean?
Slip-on construction means the shoes are designed without traditional laces or fastenings, allowing you to slide your foot in and out easily. They typically have an elasticated opening for a snug fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. The knit upper will stretch slightly with wear, but significant tightness may indicate an incorrect size or width. Wear them around the house for a short period to break them in.
Water repellency seems reduced
The water-repellent treatment can wear off. Reapply a suitable footwear water-repellent spray to the upper and allow it to dry completely.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The rugged outsole provides good grip, but on extremely slick surfaces, caution is advised. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that might reduce grip.
Insole feels flat after some use
The Air Cooled Memory Foam insole provides cushioning. If it flattens, ensure the shoe is not being used for activities beyond its intended purpose. For very heavy use, consider an aftermarket supportive insole.
