FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all seasons?
Yes, thanks to the breathable waterproof membrane, they are versatile enough for year-round hiking in moderate to cool climates.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Regatta sizes generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since they are hiking shoes, you may want to size up if you prefer thicker wool socks.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the integrity of the waterproof membrane. Clean by hand instead.
What is the benefit of the Vibram outsole?
Vibram is a world-renowned rubber compound that provides significantly better grip and longer-lasting wear than standard rubber outsoles.
Are they suitable for steep mountain climbs?
While they provide great grip and support, for high-altitude climbing or very steep technical mountaineering, a mid-cut or high-cut boot is usually recommended for better ankle support.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the shoe
Check the upper for cracks or extreme dirt buildup, and re-apply a waterproof treatment to the exterior.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Clean the outsole with warm water and a stiff brush to remove compacted mud or debris caught in the lugs.
Heel discomfort
Ensure your laces are tightened securely at the mid-foot to prevent heel lift, or replace the factory insole with a more supportive option if needed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent traction with Vibram outsole
- Highly breathable waterproof membrane
- Effective shock absorption for heel protection
- Durable synthetic and leather construction
Cons
- Requires break-in period for optimal comfort
- May feel stiff compared to casual athletic shoes
- Surface material needs periodic re-treatment to maintain Hydropel efficacy
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, ensure the fit is snug but allows enough room for your toes to wiggle; consider wearing hiking-specific wool socks to maximize comfort. To care for your Regatta Onyx shoes, remove mud after every trip using a soft brush. If they get very wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the leather or degrade the membrane. To maintain the Hydropel finish, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray whenever you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the shoe.
