FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The Hydro Next Gen Moc 1TRL is designed for casual wear and light trails. They offer good comfort and some traction but are not engineered for technical hiking or rugged terrain where more robust support and protection are needed.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with ample room in the toe box. There should be no significant heel slippage, and the arch should feel comfortably supported. Ensure the hands-free entry is easy to manage.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, you can wear them with or without socks. Many users prefer to wear them sockless for ease of entry and comfort, especially in warmer weather. Thinner socks can also be worn if preferred.
What is the main difference between this and the original Hydro Moc?
The Hydro Next Gen Moc 1TRL features an improved heel shape for better fit and comfort, along with enhanced FloatMax midsoles for maximum cushioning compared to earlier models.
Are these waterproof?
These shoes are not fully waterproof. They are made from materials that can get wet and dry relatively quickly, making them suitable for splashes or damp conditions, but not for submersion or heavy rain.
How do I clean them if they get muddy?
Rinse off loose dirt with water. Use a soft brush and mild soap to gently scrub away mud, then rinse thoroughly. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or rub during initial wear
This is common during the break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider if a half-size larger might be more comfortable if discomfort persists.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel collar is fully open. You can gently pull the back of the shoe outward. With continued use, the shoe will become more accommodating.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for various conditions, the outsole may have reduced grip on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such environments.
Odor after use
Allow shoes to air out between wears. Use baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular cleaning will also help maintain freshness.
