The AWE Hiker DWR shoes feature a water-repellent treatment, making them suitable for dry conditions or light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet environments, fully waterproof hiking boots are recommended.
Clean by brushing off loose dirt and then wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and always air dry away from direct heat.
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the shoe's upper that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep your feet dry in light moisture.
These shoes offer good cushioning and a lightweight design, making them suitable for day hikes and moderate-distance treks. For very long or strenuous expeditions, consider if the level of support and cushioning meets your specific needs.
The shoes utilize a DWR-treated polyester upper, HH Flow foam midsole, and non-marking rubber outsoles. Notably, key components like laces, straps, lining, and the Strobel construction are made from 100% recycled polyester.
The DWR finish can wear off over time. You can restore its performance by applying a suitable DWR waterproofing spray designed for footwear, following the product's instructions.
They are designed for mixed terrains, including dirt paths, gravel, and light trails. The HH Trail Grip outsole provides reliable traction on such surfaces.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the shoes with appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider seeking alternative footwear.
Clean the outsole of dirt and debris, as this can impede grip. The Trail Grip outsole is designed for mixed terrain; extreme conditions like thick mud or ice may require specialized footwear.
Check if the DWR treatment needs reapplication. Ensure laces and straps are securely fastened to maximize coverage. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.
While designed for airflow, intense activity in high temperatures may lead to increased heat. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. For very hot conditions, shoes with more pronounced ventilation might be preferable.
Setup: These are ready-to-wear hiking shoes. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
Compatibility: Designed for adult men, suitable for use on mixed hiking trails, light trails, and general outdoor activities.
