FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the ISOTEX membrane and sturdy Vibram soles make them suitable for varied weather, though they are not specifically insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Regatta Onyx line generally follows standard UK sizing, but it is recommended to allow a little extra room if you plan on wearing thick wool hiking socks.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the leather and internal membranes; always clean by hand.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable leather, which provides a balance of protection, structure, and comfort.
What should I do if the shoe gets saturated?
Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture from the inside and let them dry slowly in a well-ventilated room.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal moulded foam insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after short walks
Ensure the laces are not too tight over the bridge of the foot and check that your socks are not bunching inside the shoe.
Water penetrating the shoe
Check the exterior for worn patches where Hydropel may have faded and re-apply a water-repellent spray.
Soles losing traction
Clean out any debris or mud stuck in the Vibram tread patterns using a stiff-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Onyx Hiking Shoes, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud or dirt with a soft brush after every hike.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather and membrane.
- Treatment: Periodically re-apply a water-repellent treatment to the exterior to maintain the effectiveness of the Hydropel technology.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and leather cracking.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks to optimize the fit and moisture-wicking capabilities of the interior liner.
