Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Nova 4 is designed for breathability. If you require water protection, look for the 'Waterproof' variants of the Nova series.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While they are comfortable and designed with running ergonomics in mind, they are optimized for light trail hiking and casual use rather than high-mileage road running.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to knock off dried mud and a damp, lint-free cloth with mild soap for any remaining stains.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Nova 4 generally provides a standard fit. If you have wider feet, you may find the standard width slightly snug, so testing them with thinner or thicker socks is recommended.
Does the rubber outsole hold up on slippery rock?
The outsole provides reliable traction on most common trail conditions, though caution is always recommended on wet, mossy, or slick smooth rocks.
What is the best way to extend the life of the shoes?
Clean them regularly, rotate your footwear to allow the foam to decompress, and avoid wearing them in extreme conditions they were not intended for.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing tension, specifically focusing on the midfoot area, or consider replacing the factory insole with a high-arch or low-arch support insert.
Accumulation of debris inside
Use a gaiter to cover the gap between the ankle collar and the pant leg to prevent rocks and sand from entering the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Nova 4 shoes, verify that your UK size 11.5 fit allows for a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. While these shoes are ready for the trail right out of the box, wearing them for shorter walks initially will allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush after each outing. If muddy, wipe with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place near heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material breakdown.
