FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While these shoes are comfortable, they are not specifically designed for running. They are better suited for activities on or near water.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Helly Hansen size chart, and measure your foot to compare with the size guide. Consider the type of socks you will wear.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these shoes in a washing machine. Hand wash them with mild soap and water only.
Are these shoes good for hiking?
These shoes are better suited for light hiking on coastal trails but may lack the support needed for more rigorous hiking.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
You can wear any type of sock that fits your foot comfortably. For warmer weather or water activities, thin socks or no socks are typically recommended.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Helly Hansen offers a warranty on their products, typically covering defects in materials and workmanship. Please check the specific warranty information on the product packaging or the Helly Hansen website.
Are the soles non-marking?
Yes, the soles are non-marking rubber, which means they are designed not to leave marks on boat decks or other surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Consider wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. Check the size chart and consider a half size up if you're between sizes.
Shoes are retaining odors.
Wash the shoes with a mild soap and allow them to dry thoroughly. Use an odor-eliminating spray or insert shoe deodorizers.
The grip on the soles seems to be wearing down.
Avoid dragging your feet on rough surfaces. The HellyGrip soles are durable but can wear down over time with excessive use on abrasive surfaces.
The shoes are taking a long time to dry.
Make sure you rinse the shoes thoroughly. Place them in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat, as this can damage the materials.
