FAQs
Do these shoes run true to size?
The product description recommends buying one size bigger for optimal fit, suggesting they might run slightly smaller or offer a snugger fit than expected.
How waterproof are the RAIN.RDY shoes?
RAIN.RDY technology is designed to provide waterproof protection, keeping feet dry in wet conditions. However, prolonged submersion or extreme water ingress from the top may still lead to wetness.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
These shoes are suitable for general hiking in various weather, including wet conditions. For deep snow or extreme cold, insulated winter boots are typically recommended.
What kind of terrain are these best for?
They are designed for general hiking and walking on varied terrain, including trails, paths, and moderate rocky or muddy surfaces, thanks to the Traxion outsole.
Are these shoes breathable?
The shoes feature an abrasion-resistant mesh upper, which provides some breathability. However, the waterproof membrane and synthetic overlays may limit overall breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes.
How should I clean mud off the shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and mud. For tougher spots, wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using high-pressure water or harsh cleaning agents.
What does the 'recycled content' refer to?
The upper part of the shoe contains a minimum of 50% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the shoe
Ensure laces are tied properly to create a snug fit. Check if water has entered from the top opening. If the issue persists after multiple uses and proper care, the waterproofing may be compromised, and it might be time to consider replacement.
Traction feels insufficient on slippery surfaces
Ensure the Traxion outsole is clean from mud or debris. For exceptionally slick surfaces, proceed with caution. The outsole is designed for maximum grip, but extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
Try a different sock thickness or adjust lacing. If the shoe feels too tight, consider if the recommended 'buy one size bigger' advice applies to your foot shape. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before longer hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have purchased the correct size, noting the recommendation to buy one size larger for a potentially better fit. Lace them up securely using the provided laces.
Compatibility: Suitable for general hiking, walking, and everyday wear in various weather conditions. They are designed for adult use.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While RAIN.RDY is built-in, avoid prolonged submersion in water. Periodic re-application of a suitable waterproofing spray (for mesh/synthetic materials) might extend the water-repellent properties, though the RAIN.RDY membrane is the primary protection.
