Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR is a versatile hiking shoe designed for adult outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable performance on mixed terrain. These shoes excel by providing a balance of cushioned comfort through HH Flow foam and durable stability via the Trail Grip outsole; however, users should note that while the DWR treatment provides water repellency for light rain, these shoes are not fully waterproof for heavy downpours or deep water submersion.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment which makes the upper water-repellent, meaning they handle light rain and wet grass well, but they are not waterproof.
Can I use these for running?
While the cushioning is excellent, these are designed as hiking shoes. They will perform well for light trail jogging, but they lack the specific stability features of dedicated trail runners.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The fit is generally standard. If you have particularly wide feet, we recommend trying a half-size larger than your typical casual shoe size to account for thicker hiking socks.
Do the outsoles mark floors?
No, the shoes are equipped with non-marking rubber outsoles, making them safe for indoor wear.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Do not leave them in a hot car, as extreme heat can degrade the midsole foam.
Are the laces durable?
Yes, the laces are designed to be abrasion-resistant to handle the rigors of hiking, though they can be replaced with any standard hiking lace if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are losing water-repellency
Wash the shoes to remove dirt and grime, then reapply a high-quality DWR spray specifically designed for polyester hiking footwear.
Inner lining feeling damp
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks. Avoid cotton socks which trap moisture against the skin.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight construction suitable for all-day wear
- Environmentally friendly recycled lining materials

Cons
- DWR treatment is effective only for light rain, not submersion
- Not intended for heavy-duty mountaineering or alpine technical routes
- Polyester upper may require more frequent cleaning in muddy conditions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These hiking shoes do not require a complex break-in period, though wearing them for short walks before a longer hike is recommended to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove dried mud using a soft-bristled brush.
- Washing: Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents that can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as heat can deform the foam and damage the adhesive bonds.
- DWR Maintenance: If you notice water no longer beads off the surface after several months of use, consider reapplying a synthetic-safe DWR spray to restore water-repellency.
