Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoe - Grey - UK 4

The Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoes are ideal for light to moderate trail walks and daily adventures. While they offer good grip and waterproofing, their low-cut design provides less ankle support than dedicated high-cut hiking boots, making them less suitable for very challenging, uneven, or rocky terrain.

To clean your shoes, use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and grime from the synthetic upper and outsole. For stubborn stains, a small amount of mild soap can be used. Always air dry your shoes naturally afterwards, away from direct heat.

Yes, absolutely! The shoes feature a waterproof membrane upper specifically designed to keep your feet dry in wet weather conditions, making them perfect for rainy days and damp environments.

The Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoes provide standard built-in arch support suitable for general walking. If you require specialized arch support due to personal foot conditions, you may consider using custom insoles.

We recommend wearing moisture-wicking walking or hiking socks. These socks help to pull sweat away from your feet, enhancing comfort and preventing blisters, especially when combined with the shoe's waterproof features.

The rugged moulded outsole is designed to provide strong grip on various terrains, including wet surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of slipping. However, no shoe is entirely slip-proof, especially on extremely slick or icy conditions.

Ensure your heel is seated firmly at the back of the shoe. Adjust the classic lacing system evenly across your foot for a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. You should have a little room for your toes to wiggle, but your foot should not slide inside the shoe.

Check if water entered over the top of the shoe, for example, from deep puddles or heavy splashing. Also, ensure socks are wicking moisture away, as sweat can sometimes be mistaken for external water. Inspect the shoes for any visible damage or tears in the waterproof membrane.

Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate walking socks that wick moisture and provide cushioning to prevent friction.

Inspect the rugged moulded outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or small stones that might be reducing traction. For very slick or icy conditions, even rugged outsoles have limitations.
