FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

They are designed for general hiking and trail use. While they are waterproof, they do not provide the thermal insulation required for extreme cold or deep snow.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Always hand clean with a soft brush and air dry.

What does the Dri-Tec bootie do?

Dri-Tec is a waterproof, breathable membrane that prevents water from entering the shoe while allowing perspiration to escape.

Are these shoes true to size?

The Litespeed range generally follows standard UK sizing conventions. We recommend wearing your typical hiking sock when trying them on for size.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe during heavy rain

Ensure the shoe is fully laced to maintain the seal and check for any punctures or tears in the softshell material.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Clean the carbon rubber outsole thoroughly; trapped mud and debris significantly reduce the grip of the tread pattern.

Feeling discomfort after long walks

Check that the insole is seated correctly and consider using a moisture-wicking sock to prevent excessive internal humidity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue during long hikes
  • Effective waterproof protection from Dri-Tec technology
  • Superior shock absorption provided by EVA midsole
  • Reliable traction across multiple terrain types
  • Durable protection in high-wear areas

Cons

  • Not intended for technical mountaineering or deep snow
  • Limited lateral ankle support due to the low-cut design
  • Requires proper cleaning to maintain waterproof breathability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, begin by ensuring a proper fit; there should be roughly a half-inch of space between your toes and the front of the shoe. These shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; for maximum moisture management, consider synthetic or merino wool blends rather than cotton. After each use, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can compromise the integrity of the adhesive and the waterproof membrane. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove caked-on mud and grit, which can degrade the outer materials over time.
