FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
This specific model features a standard breathable upper. While it handles damp grass well, it is not categorized as fully waterproof.
Can these be machine washed?
We recommend hand washing with lukewarm water and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the specialized adhesives and foam.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot movement during hiking.
What is the Quicklace system?
It is a minimalist lacing system that replaces traditional laces with a strong, pull-to-tighten cord that stays secure without needing to be tied.
Are these suitable for asphalt or concrete?
While they can be worn on pavement, the soft rubber lugs of the Contagrip outsole will wear down significantly faster on hard surfaces than on trails.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace toggle slipping during wear
Ensure the lace is fully seated in the locking mechanism and verify that there is no grit or mud inside the locking barrel.
Shoes feel tight or restrictive
Loosen the Quicklace system entirely before sliding the foot in, then readjust the tension across the midfoot slowly to find the optimal fit.
Excessive buildup of mud in lugs
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clean the Contagrip outsole after every use to maintain maximum traction for the next adventure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip on slippery or uneven surfaces
- Easy for kids to put on and take off
- Provides high levels of stability and foot security
- Lightweight design prevents fatigue during long hikes
Cons
- Specifically optimized for trails rather than paved surfaces
- Not waterproof in heavy downpours or deep puddles
- Limited to specific size ranges for children
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, pull the Quicklace toggle firmly to ensure an even distribution of tension across the midfoot. Do not over-tighten, as this can cause discomfort over long periods. For care, remove excess mud or debris after each outing using a soft brush. If the shoes become very dirty, rinse them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Always air-dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, as high heat can degrade the midsole EVA foam and cause the materials to warp.
