FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While the Gore-Tex membrane provides excellent waterproofing, these shoes are primarily designed for three-season hiking. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider insulated winter hiking boots.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart or try on the shoes in-store if possible. The UK size listed is a standard guide, but fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or different insoles for enhanced comfort or support.
What is the lifespan of the Contagrip outsole?
The lifespan of the Contagrip outsole depends on usage frequency, terrain, and maintenance. With proper care, it should provide reliable grip for a significant number of miles.
How often should I re-waterproof the leather?
It is recommended to re-waterproof the leather periodically, especially after cleaning or if you notice a decrease in water repellency. Consult the product manual or manufacturer's recommendations for specific intervals.
Are these shoes suitable for rocky terrain?
Yes, the advanced chassis, molded toe cap, and durable Contagrip outsole are specifically designed to provide stability and protection on rocky and uneven surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite Gore-Tex
Ensure laces are properly tightened to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any visible damage to the Gore-Tex membrane. Ensure socks worn are also suitable for wet conditions.
Traction is poor on specific surfaces
Clean the Contagrip outsole of any mud or debris. For very slick surfaces, reduce speed and ensure careful footing. The outsole is designed for a balance of grip and durability.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters
Adjust lacing to find the optimal tension. Wear with appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before embarking on long hikes. Consider if the size is appropriate.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner or water-proofing treatment specifically designed for hiking footwear to restore moisture and protection.
