FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of hiking?
These shoes are best suited for moderate hiking trails and wet conditions due to their waterproof GORE TEX material and durable design. For extreme terrains, specialized mountaineering boots might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the leather parts?
Use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner or soap. Gently wipe the leather surface and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid soaking the leather.
What is the main benefit of the GORE TEX material?
GORE TEX is a waterproof and breathable membrane that prevents water from entering the shoe while allowing moisture vapor from sweat to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
Can I wear these shoes in the snow?
Yes, the waterproof and durable nature of the shoes makes them suitable for light snow conditions. For deep snow or extreme cold, consider adding thermal insoles or wearing thicker socks.
What size is recommended for a standard UK 12 foot?
The guide specifies a UK 12. It is always recommended to check Nike's official sizing chart for the most accurate fit, as shoe fits can vary.
How often should I reapply waterproofing spray?
Reapply waterproofing spray typically once or twice a year, or when you notice water no longer beads up on the surface. Frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes with appropriate hiking socks for a few hours each day to allow them to break in. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Water seeping through despite GORE TEX
Check for any damage to the shoe's exterior, especially seams or stitching. Ensure laces are tied snugly. Reapply a waterproofing treatment if the material's resistance has diminished.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
While the rubber sole offers grip, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris which can reduce traction.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these hiking shoes are compatible with standard sock sizes. The UK 12 size is specified in this guide, but other sizes are available.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
