FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, the GTX (Gore-Tex) designation indicates the shoe features a waterproof, breathable membrane suitable for rain and light snow.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the adhesive and the Gore-Tex membrane; always clean them by hand.
How should I tighten the laces?
Pull the Quicklace toggle upward while holding the base, then slide the cord-lock down toward the shoe to secure the fit.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite insoles can be removed for cleaning or to accommodate custom orthotics if needed.
Are these suitable for deep winter hiking?
They are designed for mixed terrain and daily winter wear; while they offer great traction, they are not intended for extreme mountaineering.
What does the ACS technology do?
ACS (Agile Chassis System) provides structural stability and responsive cushioning, helping to keep your stride consistent on uneven ground.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels loose
Ensure the lace is routed correctly through the eyelets and the toggle mechanism is fully pressed down until you hear or feel it click into place.
Foot feels too hot or sweaty
While the GTX liner is breathable, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks rather than cotton, which retains moisture.
Outsole losing traction
Check the deep lugs for packed mud or debris; use a stiff brush to clear the tread patterns to restore the original grip performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your footwear, wipe the exterior down with a damp cloth after exposure to mud or salt to prevent material degradation. Always air dry your trainers naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the waterproof membrane. The OrthoLite insoles are removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap if they accumulate odors. Ensure the Quicklace toggle is fully depressed to lock in your desired tension, and occasionally check the lace path for debris that could cause friction.
