FAQs

Are the Scarpa Moraine GORE-TEX shoes suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, the GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent waterproofing and warmth, making them suitable for winter conditions and wet weather. However, for extreme cold, consider adding thermal socks.

How do I maintain the waterproofness of the shoes?

The GORE-TEX membrane is inherently waterproof. To maintain the water-repellency of the suede upper, clean regularly and apply a suede-specific waterproofing treatment periodically.

What is the main advantage of the Vibram XS Trek outsole?

The Vibram XS Trek outsole is known for its exceptional grip and high durability across a wide range of terrains, both wet and dry, ensuring reliable traction.

Can these shoes be used for everyday wear?

While versatile and comfortable for walking, they are primarily designed for outdoor activities. Their robust tread and construction are best suited for hiking and trekking, though they can be used for casual wear, particularly in inclement weather.

How does the 'Heel Tension' feature benefit the wearer?

The Heel Tension system provides enhanced stability and a secure fit in the heel area, which is crucial for preventing slippage on ascents and descents and offering greater confidence on uneven terrain.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The fit can vary. While they offer good support, it is recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts and reviews specifically addressing width if you have wider feet.

What is the primary material of the shoe upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and water-repellent suede leather inserts, offering both comfort and protection.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not compromised by damage. Check that the shoe laces are tied correctly and not allowing water ingress. Moisture can also come from sweat; consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces

Clean the Vibram outsole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Check for excessive wear on the sole; if worn down, traction will be compromised.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters

This may indicate an incorrect fit or insufficient break-in period. Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear the shoes for progressively longer periods to allow them to mold to your feet.

Suede upper looks worn or discolored

Clean gently with a suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth. Apply a suede-specific waterproofing spray to restore appearance and protection. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing for all-weather use.
  • Superior grip and durability from Vibram outsole.
  • Comfortable for long-distance hiking due to lightweight design.
  • Good stability and ankle support.

Cons

  • May be warmer than non-waterproofed shoes in hot climates.
  • Suede requires some care to maintain its appearance and water resistance.
  • Primarily designed for hiking; might not be optimal for highly technical climbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. It is recommended to wear them for shorter walks initially to break them in.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for hiking, trekking, and outdoor walking. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks. While suitable for travel, their tread pattern is optimized for natural terrain rather than high-grip requirements for urban sports.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  • Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but maintaining the suede's water-repellency can be aided by occasional use of a suitable suede waterproofing spray. Ensure the spray is compatible with GORE-TEX.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
