FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The CLIMAPROOF technology offers waterproofing, which is beneficial in snow. However, they are primarily designed for three-season hiking. For deep snow or extreme cold, insulated winter boots would be more appropriate.
What is the main benefit of the mid-cut design?
The mid-cut design provides increased ankle support and protection against twists and sprains on uneven terrain, and also helps to keep debris out of the shoe.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is enough room to wiggle your toes comfortably. Your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when walking. It is often recommended to try hiking shoes on with the type of socks you plan to wear.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash hiking shoes. The harshness of a washing machine can damage the adhesives, waterproof membranes, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand-washing as described in the care section is the preferred method.
What type of trails are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for day hikes and moderate trekking on varied terrain, including forest paths, gravel trails, and rocky ground, especially in conditions where waterproofing is beneficial.
How durable is the textile and synthetic upper?
The textile and synthetic upper is designed for durability to withstand the abrasions and stresses encountered during hiking. However, like all footwear, longevity depends on usage and care.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite CLIMAPROOF technology.
Ensure the shoe is properly laced for a snug fit. Water may be entering from the top opening if not secured. Also, check for any damage to the shoe's membrane or seams. If the socks or inside of the shoe are damp, it might be due to sweat rather than external moisture, especially during strenuous activity.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces.
Ensure the TRAXION outsole is clean. Mud or debris lodged in the tread pattern can significantly reduce grip. Clean the sole with a brush. If wear is visible on the outsole's lugs, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.
These shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.
Shoe sole feels stiff.
The EVA midsole provides firm support. After a break-in period and use on several walks, the midsole should become more flexible. Avoid flexing the shoe excessively during cleaning or storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hiking shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Suitable for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, trekking, and trail walking. They are designed for adult male foot sizes.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Exterior: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and mud after each use. For stubborn stains on the textile and synthetic upper, use a mild soap solution and a cloth, then wipe clean with fresh water.
- Cleaning the Interior: Remove the insoles (if possible) and air them out. If necessary, clean the inside with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely.
- Drying: Never dry your shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape while air drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider applying a waterproofing spray suitable for hiking footwear.
