FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Helly Hansen HP Ahiga Evo 5 Marine Lifestyle Shoes are designed to be water-friendly and quick-drying, not fully waterproof. They are built to shed water rapidly and keep your feet comfortable when wet.
Can I wear these for hiking?
These shoes are designed for marine lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good grip on wet surfaces, they are not intended for strenuous hiking or rough terrain due to their construction and cushioning.
What is the percentage of recycled material in these shoes?
Over 70% of the upper is made from recycled materials. This includes the laces, webbing, collar reinforcement, brand label, and lining. The midsole also contains 30% recycled EVA, and the outsole uses 30% recycled rubber.
How do I clean the shoes?
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The general fit is designed for average-width feet. Due to the generous midsole, they may offer a comfortable feel for some individuals with slightly wider feet, but it's recommended to try them on if possible.
What does 'Non-marking rubber soles' mean?
Non-marking soles are made of a rubber compound that does not leave scuff marks or dark streaks on most indoor flooring surfaces, such as gym floors or boat decks.
What is the main benefit of HH Hydro-Grip?
HH Hydro-Grip is Helly Hansen's proprietary sole technology designed to provide superior traction on wet, slippery surfaces, enhancing stability and safety.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean. While HH Hydro-Grip is designed for wet surfaces, extreme conditions or non-standard materials might affect traction. For optimal grip, clean the soles of any debris.
Shoes take longer than expected to dry.
Ensure the shoes are not saturated and are placed in a well-ventilated area. While HH Quick Dry technology enhances drying, very heavy saturation or lack of airflow can prolong the process. Check that the HH Max-Vent ports are not obstructed.
Discomfort after extended wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adjust to the generous midsole cushioning.
