FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a Berghaus AQ lining specifically designed to keep feet dry in wet outdoor conditions.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the waterproof membrane. Hand cleaning with a brush and water is recommended.

Are they suitable for steep mountain climbs?

These are designed for hiking and walking on varied terrain; they are not intended for technical mountaineering or high-altitude climbing.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

We recommend wool or synthetic hiking socks designed for moisture management to maximize the comfort of the OrthoLite footbed.

How do I know if they fit correctly?

Ensure there is a small amount of room for your toes to wiggle and your heel should be held firmly in place without slipping.

Troubleshooting

Feeling dampness inside the shoe after heavy rain

Ensure the waterproof membrane isn't compromised by internal debris. If it persists, check if the DWR coating on the outer fabric needs refreshing.

Outsole losing grip on mud

Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove compacted mud from the OPTI-STUD lugs, as clogged treads significantly reduce surface friction.

Foot discomfort during long walks

Verify that your socks are moisture-wicking and not cotton. Ensure the OrthoLite footbed is correctly positioned inside the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable waterproof protection for damp conditions
  • Excellent underfoot cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Strong traction on diverse terrains
  • Lightweight design prevents leg fatigue
  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for various outdoor activities

  • Best suited for moderate trails rather than alpine climbing
  • Requires proper cleaning to maintain waterproof integrity
  • Waterproof lining may feel warmer in high temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Expeditor Aqua shoes last for many seasons, proper maintenance is essential. Always loosen the laces fully before putting the shoes on to prevent damage to the heel counter. If the shoes become muddy after a hike, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the materials and the waterproof membrane. Brush off dried dirt using a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water if necessary. To maintain the waterproof effectiveness of the AQ lining, consider using a specialized cleaner safe for waterproof membranes, ensuring you never use harsh detergents that could strip away protective coatings.
