Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Holcombe III Low walking shoes are designed for adult women seeking durable and waterproof footwear for outdoor adventures. Their key benefit lies in the advanced Isotex membrane, ensuring feet remain dry and breathable, complemented by cushioned foam for comfort and DuoGrip for reliable traction on various terrains. A potential consideration is that while waterproof, they are best suited for walking and light hiking rather than extreme mountaineering.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy trekking?
The Regatta Holcombe III Low are best suited for walking and light to moderate hiking trails. For heavy trekking or technical mountain terrain, footwear with more robust ankle support and specialized soles might be more appropriate.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The Isotex membrane provides durable waterproofing. With proper care and occasional re-application of waterproofing treatments, the effectiveness can be maintained for an extended period. However, like all waterproof materials, performance can degrade over time with heavy use and wear.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and cushioning. Clean them manually with a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and moisture management, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking walking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, which tend to hold moisture.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The shoes feature cushioned foam for comfort and support during walks. While they provide a good level of underfoot comfort, individuals requiring significant arch support may wish to consider using aftermarket insoles.
What is the grip like on wet surfaces?
The DuoGrip outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on a variety of surfaces, including wet trails. However, grip can vary depending on the specific conditions and the nature of the wet surface.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the shoes.
Ensure the waterproof membrane is intact. Check for any tears or damage. If the shoes are heavily soiled, cleaning and re-applying waterproofing treatment may help. Ensure socks are not the source of moisture.
Slipping on certain surfaces.
The DuoGrip outsole is designed for traction but may have limitations on extremely slick or icy surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris, as this can reduce grip. For very challenging conditions, consider specialized footwear.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Check the shoe size and fit. Ensure laces are tied correctly to provide a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before undertaking long hikes. Consider wearing thicker or different types of walking socks.
Reduced breathability leading to sweaty feet.
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from dirt that could block the membrane's pores. Wear moisture-wicking socks. In very warm conditions, even waterproof shoes can feel warmer; consider the intended use for the weather.
