FAQs
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for light to moderate hiking trails, including dirt paths, gravel, and uneven terrain. They offer good traction and cushioning for these conditions.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproofing. They are designed for general outdoor use and may offer some resistance to light moisture but are not fully waterproof.
How do I know if the UK 12.5 size will fit me?
It is recommended to try them on if possible. Compare the UK 12.5 size to your usual shoe size and consider your preferred sock thickness. Refer to ASICS sizing charts for detailed measurements if available.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Yes, you can wear them for casual use. Their durable construction and cushioning offer comfort for everyday walking, though they might feel more substantial than typical casual shoes.
What is the primary difference between these hiking shoes and ASICS trainers?
Hiking shoes typically have more aggressive outsoles for traction, enhanced durability for rough terrain, and greater ankle support (though this model is low-cut). Trainers are generally designed for running or gym activities with a focus on cushioning and flexibility for flatter surfaces.
How should I clean the shoes if they get muddy?
Gently brush off dry mud. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for tougher stains. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone easily
Tie laces using a secure knot, such as a double knot, or consider replacing them with laces that have better grip.
Slight discomfort on first wear
New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces
While designed for varied terrain, exceptionally slick surfaces like wet rock or mud may require slower movement and more careful footing. Consider specialised footwear for extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure you have the correct size (UK 12.5 for this variant) for optimal comfort and performance. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but not restrictive fit.
Compatibility: While specifically designed as hiking shoes, they are also suitable for general outdoor activities and training. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Remove insoles during drying if possible to speed up the process.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage.
