Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these be used for road running?

Yes, they are designed to transition between asphalt and trails, though the lugs are optimized for mixed terrain.

Are these waterproof?

These shoes prioritize breathability through the HH Max-Vent system and are not marketed as waterproof.

How should I clean the polyester upper?

Use a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and protective coatings.

Do I need to size up for hiking?

Many hikers prefer a half-size larger to accommodate swelling and thicker hiking socks, but it is recommended to follow standard sizing charts.

Are these suitable for technical rock climbing?

No, these are hiking and trail running shoes and do not have the specialized rubber or stiffness required for rock climbing.

What is the primary benefit of the HH Pro Guard?

The HH Pro Guard provides an extra layer of protection against sharp rocks, roots, and trail obstacles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slippery on smooth, wet surfaces.

Ensure the outsoles are clean and free of mud/dirt build-up, which can obscure the traction patterns.

Feeling discomfort after long runs.

Ensure your laces are not overtightened at the forefoot, allowing for natural swelling and the HH Free-Flex system to work correctly.

Excessive odor build-up.

Remove the insoles after use to allow the interior to dry completely; use a moisture-wicking sock for better climate control.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Buzzard shoes last, it is recommended to break them in on shorter walks before taking them on long-distance excursions.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Remove loose mud and debris with a soft brush after every hike. Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap if necessary.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the bonding materials.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for lodged stones to maintain maximum traction.
