FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The product description indicates a combination upper and specific sizing (UK 4). While the materials offer some flexibility, this particular model may be better suited for average to narrow foot widths. For wider feet, exploring other models or sizes might be necessary.
How do I best clean the leather and mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, gently wiping the affected areas. Allow to air dry completely.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof construction, adhesives, and materials. Hand clean as per the care instructions.
What type of hiking are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for light to moderate hiking, day hikes, and walking on varied terrain where waterproof protection and comfort are key. They are not designed for extreme mountaineering or technical off-trail use.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
The Omni-Tech waterproof bootie construction is designed for durability. With proper care and maintenance, the waterproofing should last for a significant period. However, regular use and exposure can eventually reduce its effectiveness, and periodic re-treatment might be considered.
Does the midsole offer enough support for backpacking?
The Techlite midsole provides good cushioning and energy return for long-duration comfort on day hikes. For heavy backpacking with significant loads on very rugged terrain, users might prefer a boot with a more robust midsole and greater ankle support.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the shoe.
Ensure the Omni-Tech bootie construction is intact. Check for any tears or damage. Make sure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. If the issue persists after drying, the waterproof barrier may be compromised.
Slipping on surfaces.
Clean the outsole to remove mud or debris that might be hindering traction. The Omni-Grip outsole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions or wear can affect performance. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for the shoe (e.g., very steep ice).
Discomfort or pressure points.
Break in the shoes with shorter walks before longer hikes. Ensure the correct size is being worn. Adjust lacing to provide a more customized fit. Consider wearing thicker or thinner socks depending on the pressure point.
Foul odor developing.
Remove insoles and allow both shoes and insoles to air dry completely after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult female hikers and walkers. Compatible with standard hiking socks. The traction is designed for outdoor surfaces and may not be optimal on highly polished indoor floors.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a brush. For stubborn dirt or stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check the waterproof membrane. If performance seems reduced, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and synthetic hiking footwear, following the product's instructions.
