FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
While the waterproof membrane provides warmth, these shoes are primarily designed for three-season use (spring, summer, autumn). For extreme cold, consider adding thicker thermal socks or a dedicated winter boot.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the ECCO sizing chart for men's UK sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided dimensions. Consider the type of socks you will typically wear with the shoes.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, waterproof membrane, and adhesives. Hand wash using the care instructions provided.
What is the benefit of the PHORENE midsole?
The PHORENE midsole is a lightweight material engineered to offer exceptional bounce and energy return, reducing foot fatigue during extended wear and providing a responsive feel with each step.
How long does the waterproof feature last?
The PFC waterproof membrane is a durable component. With proper care and maintenance of the shoe's exterior, the waterproof protection should remain effective for the lifespan of the product.
Can these be worn for trail running?
While they offer excellent grip and support, they are designed more for hiking and walking. For dedicated trail running, shoes with more specialized features like enhanced flexibility and lighter weight might be preferable.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite being waterproof.
Ensure the shoe's exterior is clean, as heavy dirt can impede the waterproof membrane's performance. Check that laces are tied snugly but not excessively tight, which can create pressure points. Verify socks are not the source of dampness.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Clean the Michelin rubber outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any accumulated mud, dirt, or debris that might be filling the tread pattern.
Discomfort during long walks.
Ensure the shoes are properly broken in before undertaking long hikes. Check that the lacing is adjusted for optimal support and comfort, not too tight or too loose. Consider using supportive insoles if needed.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a suitable nubuck conditioner or cleaner designed for leather footwear to restore moisture and color. Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove light scuffs.
