FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy backpacking trips?
The Peakfreak 2 Mid Outdry shoes offer good cushioning and support for day hikes and moderate backpacking trips. For very heavy loads or extended treks requiring maximum ankle support, consider models with a higher cut or more robust construction.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry.
What is the benefit of the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM?
The NAVIC FIT SYSTEM is engineered to provide a natural, secure midfoot lockdown, enhancing stability and preventing foot slippage within the shoe during active use.
How long does the Ortholite Eco insole last?
The Ortholite Eco insole is designed for long-term cushioning and breathability. While durable, its lifespan depends on usage frequency and intensity. It's recommended to inspect insoles periodically for wear.
Can I replace the laces if they wear out?
Yes, the laces can be replaced. It is recommended to use hiking-specific laces of a similar length and thickness to maintain proper fit and function.
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
These shoes offer excellent waterproofing, making them suitable for wet winter conditions like slush and rain. For extreme cold with deep snow, consider insulated winter boots.
What is the lug height on the outsole?
The outsole features hike-specific traction with 5mm lug heights, designed to provide optimal grip on various trail surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproofing
Ensure laces are tied properly and not allowing water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the OutDry membrane or seams. Laces themselves are not waterproof and can transfer moisture.
Poor traction on slippery surfaces
Clean mud and debris from the Adapt Trax outsole lugs. The outsole is designed for excellent grip, but excessive buildup can reduce its effectiveness.
Discomfort or rubbing during hikes
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Adjust lacing to optimize the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM for your foot shape. Allow a break-in period for the shoes to mold to your feet.
Shoe odor developing
Remove insoles and allow both shoes and insoles to air dry completely after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready for use right out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably, adjusting the laces as needed using the provided eyelets and hooks. The NAVIC FIT SYSTEM is designed to naturally secure the midfoot once laced.
Compatibility: Suitable for men with UK shoe sizes. Designed for hiking and general outdoor activities.
Care: To maintain performance:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For interior cleaning, use a soft brush and mild soap if necessary, then rinse with cool water.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check the waterproofing. While the OutDry membrane is durable, avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could compromise its integrity. Laces may require separate drying if saturated.
