FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

The shoes feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, making them water-repellent against light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water.

What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

These shoes are designed for mixed terrains, including trails, gravel paths, and general outdoor hiking. They offer a reliable grip for these conditions.

How should I clean my AWE Hiker DWR shoes?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Do these shoes contain recycled materials?

Yes, the shoes are constructed with 100% recycled materials for laces, straps, lining, and Strobel construction.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

The shoes utilize HH Flow foam in the midsole for responsive cushioning and comfort during hikes.

Can I wear these shoes in very hot weather?

The shoes feature a breathable construction designed to enhance airflow, which can be beneficial in warmer conditions. However, extreme heat may still lead to discomfort depending on individual factors.

What does 'DWR' stand for?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a treatment applied to fabrics that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel wet inside after light rain

Ensure the DWR treatment is still effective. Clean the shoes and consider reapplying a DWR spray. Make sure laces are tied to fully utilize the shoe's water-repellent features.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the Trail Grip outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be hindering traction. If wear is visible on the outsole, consider replacement.

Discomfort or blisters

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before attempting longer hikes. Consider using appropriate hiking socks.

Shoes smell after use

Allow shoes to air dry completely after each use. Use odor-absorbing insoles or spray them with a fabric refresher designed for footwear.
