FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane which is designed to keep water out while remaining breathable.
Are they suitable for mountain climbing?
They are ideal for technical hiking and trekking, but they are not specialized climbing shoes.
How should I clean the GORE-TEX lining?
Gently wipe the interior with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid submerging the inside of the shoe in water.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to leave a little extra room for thick hiking socks.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Check the upper for debris or salt buildup which can affect membrane breathability, and ensure the tongue is centered properly.
Slippage on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are free of caked-on mud, as the Continental Rubber performs best when the tread pattern is clear of obstructions.
Feeling of discomfort or hot spots
Try adjusting the lacing tension in specific zones; avoid overtightening near the forefoot to allow for natural foot swelling during long hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, wear the shoes with appropriate technical hiking socks to manage moisture. For maintenance, remove heavy mud after each hike using a soft brush. If the shoes become very dirty, rinse them with lukewarm water and mild soap; avoid harsh detergents. Always allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and adhesive bonds.
