FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofness, making them suitable for wet conditions. However, their insulation is designed for moderate temperatures, so they may not be warm enough for deep winter hikes without additional thermal socks.
How do I determine the right UK size?
It's recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe in centimeters and compare it to Mammut's sizing chart, which is usually available on their website or retailer sites. Trying them on in person is the most accurate method.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, the waterproof membrane, and the adhesive. Hand clean them using a soft brush and a damp cloth.
What is the advantage of terracare® leather?
Terracare® leather is produced in Germany using an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly process. It offers high quality, durability, and stability, contributing to the shoe's overall performance and longevity.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or the leather feels dry, it's time to reapply a waterproofing treatment, typically after several significant uses or at least once a year.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. It is best to check the specific warranty terms provided by the seller at the time of purchase or contact Mammut customer service for details.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different thicknesses of hiking socks. Allow for a break-in period of a few short walks.
Feet feel wet despite the GORE-TEX membrane.
Check if water is entering from the top opening (especially if submerged). Ensure the shoes are properly laced and the membrane is intact. If leakage persists, the membrane may be compromised.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Vibram sole of any mud or debris that may be clogging the tread. For very icy conditions, consider specialized traction devices.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a specific waterproofing treatment designed for nubuck leather to restore moisture and flexibility. Follow the product's application instructions.
