Its key benefit is providing excellent stability on uneven ground thanks to the ADV-C chassis, combined with robust waterproofing and protection.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the ADV-C Chassis™?
The ADV-C Chassis™ provides enhanced stability and support on uneven and challenging terrain, helping to prevent ankle rolls and improve overall control.
How do I know if the GORE-TEX® membrane is working?
You will know it's working if your feet remain dry during wet conditions. If you feel moisture inside, it could indicate a breach in the membrane or that your socks are drawing external moisture.
Can these shoes be used for everyday walking?
While designed for rugged outdoor use, their comfort and support features make them suitable for general walking, especially if you encounter varied surfaces.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
The weight of a single shoe is approximately 505g.
How should I maintain the waterproofing of the shoes?
Regular cleaning and air drying are key. If the water-repellent properties of the upper seem to decrease over time, you can reapply a suitable DWR spray according to the product's instructions.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit is designed for a standard foot width. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on or consult size guides for potential alternatives.
What is the drop on this shoe?
The drop on this shoe is 10mm.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the shoe.
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and that socks are not wicking moisture away from the outside. Check for any potential punctures or tears in the membrane. Ensure the shoe tongue gusset is properly sealed.
Slipping on wet or muddy surfaces.
While the Mud Contagrip® offers excellent traction, extreme conditions may still pose challenges. Ensure the outsole is free from packed mud or debris. For very slick surfaces, adjust gait and foot placement.
Discomfort or rubbing after wearing.
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight or too loose. Wear with appropriate hiking socks. If rubbing persists in specific areas, consider using moleskin or specialized socks. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
Reduced support on uneven ground.
Verify that the ADV-C Chassis™ is functioning correctly and that the laces are secured to maximize stability. Ensure the shoe is the correct size and fit for your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit, using the locking laces system for a secure hold. The standard lacing can be adjusted to accommodate personal preference for tightness across the foot.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking and backpacking on varied terrain. Not specifically designed for trail running or purely urban use, though their durability and grip are beneficial in many outdoor scenarios.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Remove insoles to speed up drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check the water-repellent treatment on the upper and consider re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if performance diminishes, following product instructions.
