The Gelert Horizon shoes are excellent for trail walks, light hikes, and general outdoor use. For very heavy-duty hiking, mountaineering, or challenging terrains, a more specialized boot with higher ankle support might be more appropriate.
To clean them, simply use a soft damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud from the synthetic upper and the outsole. Allow them to air dry naturally.
These are low-cut walking shoes, designed for flexibility and comfort for general outdoor activities. They offer limited ankle support compared to mid or high-cut hiking boots.
The synthetic upper combined with a waterproof membrane prioritizes keeping water out. While they offer some breathability, their primary focus is on waterproofing, which might make them feel less breathable than non-waterproof mesh shoes in very warm, dry conditions.
The waterproof membrane will keep your feet dry from melted snow or slush. However, these shoes are not insulated, so for very cold temperatures or deep snow, you might want to consider insulated winter boots for warmth.
The rugged moulded outsole provides excellent traction on varied surfaces, including dirt trails, gravel paths, grass, and wet or muddy conditions.
First, check that the waterproof membrane hasn't been compromised by damage. Ensure the water isn't entering over the top of the low-cut collar in very deep puddles. Also, consider if your socks are wicking moisture effectively; sometimes sweat build-up can be mistaken for leaks.
The rugged moulded outsole is designed for excellent traction, but no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of mud or debris that could reduce grip. Evaluate the surface; some extremely slick surfaces (e.g., polished wet ice) will challenge any outsole.
Utilize the classic lacing system to adjust the fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find one that best secures your foot without creating pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for walking, as thin or thick socks can alter the fit.
Setup: Simply loosen the classic lacing system, slide your foot in using the pull loop for assistance, and then tighten the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are secure but not overly tight to prevent discomfort during wear. Compatibility: These shoes are highly versatile and compatible with a variety of outdoor activities including trail walking, dog walking, light hiking, and daily wear in unpredictable weather. They perform best in damp, wet, or muddy conditions where waterproofing and traction are beneficial. Pair them with appropriate socks for optimal comfort and moisture wicking. Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your Gelert Horizon Waterproof Walking Shoes, clean them regularly. Use a soft damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud from the synthetic upper and outsole. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Remove any insoles to dry separately if they become wet. Regular cleaning helps preserve the waterproof properties and overall appearance of the shoes.
