FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
No, the Helly Hansen AWE Hiker DWR shoes feature a water-repellent DWR-treated upper, meaning they can handle light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for submersion.
How do I clean my hiking shoes?
Clean them with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
What is the main benefit of the HH Flow foam midsole?
The HH Flow foam midsole provides cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing comfort during long hikes and reducing foot fatigue.
Can these shoes be used on very muddy trails?
The HH Trail Grip outsole offers reliable traction on mixed terrains, including some mud. However, for very deep or slippery mud, specialized hiking boots with deeper lugs might offer superior grip.
What does DWR treatment mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This is a treatment applied to the shoe's upper fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep your feet dry in damp conditions.
Are the recycled materials as durable as non-recycled ones?
The materials used in the Helly Hansen AWE Hiker DWR are designed to meet performance standards for hiking. While recycled materials can be highly durable, their longevity is dependent on proper care and usage.
What is the weight of these shoes?
The weight of the Helly Hansen AWE Hiker DWR shoes is approximately 660.0 grams per pair.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period to allow them to stretch slightly. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your foot measurements.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
While the Trail Grip outsole is designed for varied conditions, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any tread. Clean the outsole to remove debris that might impede grip. Consider if the conditions exceed the intended use of the shoe.
Feet feel damp after hiking in light rain
The DWR treatment provides water repellency, not full waterproofing. For heavier moisture or prolonged exposure, consider adding a waterproofing spray or using waterproof socks. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top.
Fraying on recycled laces or strap
Minor fraying on recycled materials is possible. Trim any loose threads carefully with scissors. Ensure the materials are not subjected to excessive abrasion.
