The Helly Hansen Awe Hiker DWR hiking shoes are designed for adult men seeking reliable footwear for mixed terrain hiking. Their key benefit is a balance of grip, water-repellency, and breathable comfort, making them versatile for various trail conditions. A potential caveat is that the DWR treatment is most effective in dry conditions or light rain, not prolonged downpours. Key features include a durable Trail Grip outsole, a water-repellent DWR-treated upper, a breathable construction, and a cushioned HH Flow foam midsole for all-day comfort.

The Awe Hiker DWR shoes feature a water-repellent (DWR) treatment, which is effective for dry conditions or light rain. For heavy or prolonged wet conditions, they may not offer full waterproofing. Consider adding a waterproofing spray or using gaiters for additional protection.
DWR stands for 'Durable Water Repellent'. It's a coating applied to fabrics that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the material dry.
Remove loose dirt with a brush. Use a damp cloth for more stubborn dirt. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Yes, the shoes feature standard lacing systems. You can replace the laces with any compatible hiking laces if needed. The original laces are made from 100% recycled materials.
These shoes are designed for mixed terrain, making them ideal for trails that include dirt paths, gravel, rocks, and moderate inclines. They balance grip and comfort for general hiking use.
The HH Flow foam midsole is integrated into the shoe for cushioning. It is not designed to be user-replaceable. Its effectiveness may decrease over time with extensive use.
While the description doesn't specify width options, standard men's hiking shoes typically offer a medium width. It's recommended to try them on or consult reviews regarding fit for wider feet if that is a concern.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if longer break-in time is needed.
While DWR treated, the shoes are designed for light rain. For heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions, consider using waterproof gaiters or additional waterproofing treatments for the footwear.
Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris, as this can impact grip. Check for significant wear on the tread pattern, which may indicate the outsole needs replacement (though this is not typically user-serviceable).
Ensure socks are worn correctly without bunching. The lining is made from recycled materials and may require a short break-in period. Check for any internal seams or debris that might be causing friction.
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first outdoor excursion. Adjust the lacing system for a secure but not overly tight fit. The padded collar should rest comfortably around your ankle.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult men looking for a versatile hiking shoe for mixed terrain. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
