FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the GORE-TEX footwear membrane provides excellent waterproofing, making them suitable for use in rainy conditions and wet environments.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
They are ideal for moderate hiking trails, including forest paths, gravel tracks, and uneven terrain. The Continental Rubber outsole offers reliable grip on both wet and dry surfaces.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the product sizing information provided by the retailer. Generally, they follow standard UK women's sizing. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately.
Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?
While they offer waterproofing, they are designed with a textile and synthetic upper which allows for some breathability. However, in very hot conditions, dedicated summer hiking shoes might offer better ventilation.
What is the main advantage of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, which helps reduce foot fatigue and impact during hiking activities.
How should I care for the GORE-TEX membrane?
Clean gently with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the shoes are properly dried after use to maintain the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX lining
Ensure laces are tightened properly to prevent water from entering the top. Check for any tears or damage to the membrane. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may be compromised.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
Clean the Continental Rubber outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
This is common during the break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure socks are appropriate hiking socks to minimize friction.
Shoe odor develops
Remove insoles and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are dried thoroughly after each use.

Care Instructions:
