FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Storm Shield membrane provides waterproof protection suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extremely prolonged immersion or very deep water, the waterproof effectiveness might be reduced, and specialized boots would be recommended.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
Wipe away excess mud with a dry brush or cloth. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for tougher stains, then rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.
What is the upper material made of?
The upper is made of a lightweight and comfortable softshell material.
Can I wear these for long-distance hiking?
These shoes are excellent for general walking and light hiking. For long-distance treks on technical or very uneven terrain, a more robust hiking boot with greater ankle support and a stiffer sole might be more appropriate.
How do the pull tabs work?
The front and rear pull tabs are designed to provide a grip point, making it easier to slide the shoes on and off your feet.
What sizes are available?
These shoes are available in various adult male UK sizes. Please check the product listing for the specific size range offered.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after wearing in wet conditions.
Ensure the laces are tied tightly to prevent water ingress around the ankle. Check that the Storm Shield membrane is intact and not damaged. For prolonged heavy rain, consider additional waterproofing treatments for the outer material.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or tight.
The softshell upper is designed to be comfortable, but ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them with your preferred type of walking socks. Break them in gradually with shorter walks to allow them to mould to your feet.
Traction feels reduced on slippery surfaces.
The outsole is designed for grip, but performance can be affected by wear and tear or extremely slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean; mud or debris can reduce its effectiveness. For very challenging terrain, consider specialized hiking boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely to your preference for optimal fit and support.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these shoes are best suited for walking, light hiking, and general outdoor casual wear. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care: To maintain the waterproof properties and longevity of the shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe away dirt and mud with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with clean water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and compromise the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for footwear to refresh the outer material's resistance to water.
