FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for backpacking?
Yes, their lightweight design and cushioning make them suitable for backpacking, especially for multi-day trips where comfort over distance is key. Ensure they are well broken in before a long trek.
What is the primary benefit of the Energy Foam midsole?
The Energy Foam midsole provides dynamic energy return and excellent cushioning, which helps reduce fatigue and improve comfort during long hikes.
How do I maintain the leather material?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. For best results, consider using a leather conditioner suitable for outdoor footwear periodically, especially after exposure to wet conditions.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While they offer good grip and a reactive bounce, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, a shoe with a more specialized fit and sole pattern might be preferable.
What is the advantage of the QuickLACE system?
The QuickLACE system allows for fast, one-handed tightening and loosening of the laces, providing a secure and custom fit without the need for traditional knots.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to standard UK sizing charts. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals. The listed UK size is a guideline.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are designed to offer protection against moderate moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may allow water ingress in very wet conditions or prolonged submersion.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the QuickLACE mechanism is clean and free of debris. If the laces are new, they may be stiff; repeated use will loosen them.
Discomfort on longer hikes
Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are laced appropriately. Consider using thicker hiking socks or allow for a break-in period if the shoes are new.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is optimized for mixed terrain. For extremely wet conditions, consider using shoes with a more aggressive tread pattern or exercising extra caution.
Water ingress during heavy rain or puddles
These shoes offer a degree of water resistance but are not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider using waterproof gaiters or specialized waterproof footwear.
