Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Lightblaze uses CLIMAWARM for warmth and moisture-wicking, but it is not marketed as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While wearable on road, the specialized trail outsole will wear down faster on tarmac than it would on soft, natural terrain.
How should I clean the Suede materials?
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt, and avoid using heavy cleaning chemicals that could strip the material's finish.
Is the Lightstrike cushioning durable?
Yes, Lightstrike is designed to maintain its springy properties over extended periods of trail usage.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
The CLIMAWARM technology is specifically designed to trap heat, making them a great choice for cooler weather trail activities.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris lodged in the lugs; clean with a brush to restore grip.
Discomfort or hotspots during long runs
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot and consider swapping to thinner socks if the fit is too tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your UK size 12.5 fit with light-to-midweight hiking socks to accommodate the shoe's internal padding.
Care Instructions:
- Remove loose debris like mud and gravel using a soft-bristled brush after every hike.
- If the shoes become heavily saturated, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Avoid using a clothes dryer or direct heat sources like radiators, as these can damage the specialized cushioning foam.
- Clean the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water for prolonged periods.
