FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX® membrane provides waterproofing and some insulation, making them suitable for cool, wet conditions. However, they are not specifically designed as insulated winter boots and may require additional thermal socks for very cold temperatures.
How do I know if the size UK 6.5 is correct for me?
It is always recommended to try on hiking shoes before purchasing if possible, as fit is crucial for comfort and performance. Consider your usual shoe size and the width of your feet. Hikers often recommend a bit of space at the toe for descents.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for hiking. For daily casual wear, they may feel a bit bulky compared to lifestyle shoes.
What is the advantage of the mid-cut design?
The mid-cut design provides additional support and protection to the ankle, which can help prevent sprains and injuries on uneven or challenging terrain.
How long does the GORE-TEX® waterproofing typically last?
With proper care, the GORE-TEX® membrane is designed to be durable and maintain its waterproof properties for the lifespan of the shoe. Regular cleaning and avoiding damage to the fabric are key.
What is the weight of these shoes?
The weight of these shoes is approximately 840 grams.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet inside the shoes.
Ensure the GORE-TEX® membrane is intact. Check for any holes or tears in the fabric. If the issue persists after cleaning and drying, the waterproofing may be compromised.
Poor traction on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud or debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the surface conditions; excessive wear on the sole can reduce traction over time.
Discomfort or rubbing after wear.
This may indicate a need for a break-in period. Try wearing them with thicker hiking socks and for shorter durations. Ensure the laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose.
Shoes smell after use.
Remove insoles and air dry shoes completely after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight. Regular cleaning also helps.
