Full details
The Helly Hansen HP Ahiga Evo 5 Marine Lifestyle Shoes are designed for women seeking comfort and performance during summer days, whether by the sea or in urban environments. Their key benefit is superior grip on wet surfaces combined with rapid water shedding and excellent breathability, making them ideal for active water-side use. A potential caveat is their lifestyle focus, meaning they may not be suited for highly technical marine activities requiring specialized footwear. These shoes offer a generous midsole for comfort and are constructed with a significant percentage of recycled materials, aligning sustainability with functionality.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for swimming or intense watersports?
These are lifestyle shoes designed for comfort and grip in casual water-side environments. They are not specialized for high-impact watersports like kayaking, surfing, or competitive sailing, which may require footwear with more robust support and protection.
How much of the shoe is made from recycled materials?
Over 70% of the upper is made from recycled materials. Specific components like laces, webbing, reinforcement ribbon, collar, lining, and the midsole (30% recycled EVA) also utilize recycled content.
Can I wear these shoes with socks?
Yes, you can wear them with socks if you prefer. However, they are designed to be worn without socks to maximize the benefits of the HH Quick Dry and HH Max-Vent technologies, allowing for faster drying and better airflow.
What does 'non-marking' mean for the soles?
Non-marking soles are made from rubber compounds that do not leave scuff marks or dark residue on surfaces like boat decks, gym floors, or light-colored indoor flooring.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 74 mm.
How should I clean the shoes if they get dirty?
Clean them by hand using cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
What is the weight of the shoes?
The approximate weight of the shoes is 550.0 grams.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff on first wear.
This is normal for new footwear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. The generous midsole will conform to your foot over time.
Water is not shedding as quickly as expected.
Ensure the ventilation channels are not blocked by debris. Gently rinse the shoes to clear any obstructions. The HH Quick Dry technology is effective but works best when the shoe is not completely saturated.
Soles feel slippery on extremely polished indoor surfaces.
While the HH Hydro-Grip is designed for wet surfaces, highly polished or waxed indoor floors can present different challenges. Exercise caution in such environments. The soles are non-marking, which is their primary benefit for indoor floors.
