FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature OutDry construction which makes the shoe itself waterproof and breathable, though the laces can still get wet.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are well-suited for slushy conditions and mild winter weather due to the waterproof construction, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for stubborn stains. Avoid machine washing or drying.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite Eco insole can be removed for cleaning or to accommodate custom orthotics.
What kind of terrain is the Adapt Trax outsole best for?
The Adapt Trax outsole is designed for versatile performance, providing great grip on both wet and dry surfaces including mud, dirt, and rock.
Troubleshooting
Moisture inside the shoe despite OutDry
Ensure your socks are synthetic or wool and not cotton, as cotton traps sweat inside. Also, check that the shoe cuff is not letting water in from the top during heavy rain.
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces to tighten the midfoot lock-down. If the issue persists, ensure you are wearing the correct size and weight of hiking socks.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproofing via OutDry technology
- Reliable grip on diverse terrain with 5mm lugs
- Highly responsive cushioning for reduced fatigue
- Secure midfoot fit prevents movement inside the shoe
Cons
- Laces are not waterproof and may absorb moisture
- Specific maintenance required for mesh material
- Mid-height design may feel restrictive to some users
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your footwear, begin by properly adjusting the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM laces to achieve a snug midfoot lock-down without over-tightening. These shoes are compatible with standard wool or synthetic hiking socks for optimal moisture management. After muddy hikes, remove the OrthoLite insole and allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated space away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the waterproofing membrane. Regularly clean off dried mud or debris using a soft-bristled brush to maintain the breathability of the mesh exterior.
