FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the GORE-TEX® membrane provides reliable waterproofing while allowing for breathability.
How do I clean the recycled mesh materials?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Always air dry.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The rock plate is a protective layer in the midsole that shields your feet from sharp objects like rocks and roots on the trail.
How long does the FloatPro™ Foam cushioning last?
FloatPro™ Foam is designed for long-lasting cushioning. However, the lifespan can vary based on usage intensity and terrain.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit is designed for a standard width. It's recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts to determine if they suit your foot shape.
How effective is the odor control?
The cleansport NXT™ treatment helps naturally control odor by breaking down the source. Regular airing and cleaning will further enhance freshness.
Can I use these for trail running as well as hiking?
Yes, the 'Speed' designation and design elements like the lightweight midsole and grippy outsole make them suitable for both technical hiking and trail running.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX®
Ensure laces are properly tightened to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® membrane. Allow shoes to dry completely if they have been submerged.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
This is common with new hiking shoes. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the lacing is not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing thicker hiking socks.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the Vibram® outsole of any mud or debris. The TC5+ compound is designed for grip, but extreme conditions or wear can affect performance. Inspect the tread for significant wear.
Shoe feels stiff
Allow the shoes time to break in through regular use. Flexing the shoes manually can also help soften the materials.
