FAQs

Are the Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which provides durable waterproof protection while remaining breathable, ensuring your feet stay dry in wet conditions.

How should I clean my Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes?

For the leather upper, wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather cleaner as needed. For the GORE-TEX membrane, ensure regular cleaning to prevent clogging. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Can these shoes be worn in warm weather?

While the breathable leather lining helps, these shoes are designed as 'winter-ready' and for protection against elements. They are best suited for cooler or wet conditions rather than very hot summer days.

What kind of activities are these shoes suitable for?

They are ideal for daily commutes, urban walking, country tracks, and light outdoor activities where comfort, durability, and weather protection are important.

Do I need to break in these shoes?

As with many quality leather shoes, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the leather and the Contoured Comfort™ footbed to fully conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

What is the Contoured Comfort™ footbed?

The Contoured Comfort™ footbed is an ergonomically designed insole that provides enhanced arch support and cushioning, molding to your foot's natural shape for superior all-day comfort.

Do these shoes offer good grip?

Yes, the Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes are equipped with a durable, grippy rubber outsole specifically designed to provide reliable traction on various surfaces, including wet pavements and uneven terrain.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp or wet inside

Ensure pants or socks are not wicking water into the shoe. Clean the GORE-TEX membrane surface to prevent clogging and consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment suitable for GORE-TEX footwear. Check for any physical damage to the shoe upper.

Leather appears dry or cracked

Regularly clean the leather with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality leather conditioner or balm designed for full-grain leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive drying near heat sources.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; if significantly worn, the outsole's performance will be reduced.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather and footbed to mold to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to its instructions.
  2. Maintaining Waterproofing: Regularly re-treat the leather with a suitable GORE-TEX approved waterproofing spray or conditioner to maintain its water repellency, especially after cleaning. Avoid using oil-based conditioners that might clog the GORE-TEX membrane.
  3. Drying: If shoes become wet, remove any insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or machine wash these shoes as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and leather.
