FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They are suitable for some winter conditions, but may not provide enough insulation for extreme cold. Consider using thicker socks.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
Yes, they are suitable for trail running, especially on less technical trails. Consider the terrain and your running style.
What kind of socks should I use?
Use moisture-wicking hiking socks for optimal comfort and performance. Avoid cotton socks.
How long will the waterproofness last?
The GORE-TEX membrane should maintain its waterproofness for a long time, but it may diminish over time. Regular care and re-waterproofing treatments can extend its life.
Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Washing machines can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane. Hand wash only.
What is the lifespan of these shoes?
The lifespan depends on usage and care. With proper care, they can last for several hiking seasons.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Adjust the lacing or consider a different sock thickness. Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually.

Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris. Consider replacing the shoes if the tread is excessively worn. Slow down your pace.
Blisters after hiking.
Ensure the shoes fit properly. Use moisture-wicking socks. Apply blister prevention products.
