FAQs
Are these shoes completely waterproof?
No, they feature a DWR-treated upper which is water-repellent, meaning they handle light rain and damp grass well, but they are not waterproof in heavy or sustained rain.
Can I use these for technical climbing?
No, these are designed as hiking shoes for trails and mixed terrain, not for technical rock climbing or mountaineering.
How do I maintain the DWR coating?
Keep the shoes clean by removing surface dirt after use. You can re-apply a DWR waterproofing spray once the factory finish begins to lose effectiveness.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which allows for easier cleaning and the ability to replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable polyester, which includes recycled materials for added sustainability.
Do these shoes provide ankle support?
They feature a comfortable padded collar that provides soft support around the ankle area, though they are a low-cut design.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency fading
Apply a secondary DWR spray treatment designed for technical outdoor footwear to restore the water-resistant coating.
Laces coming undone
Use a double knot or replace with technical friction-locking laces to ensure a secure fit throughout your hike.
Odour buildup
Remove insoles after use to promote airflow and utilize a specialized shoe deodorizer spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the shoes are laced snugly to utilize the padded collar for ankle support. Compatibility is standard for most hiking socks; opt for synthetic or merino wool blends to maximize the benefits of the breathable mesh upper. To care for your shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after muddy excursions. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the `DWR` treatment. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators.
