FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain or trekking in wet conditions?
While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these shoes are primarily designed for dry to moderately wet conditions. For heavy rain or prolonged wet trekking, waterproof hiking boots are recommended.
How do I ensure the best fit?
We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking. Ensure there is comfortable room in the toe box and that your heel does not lift excessively.
Can I replace the EVA insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the moulded EVA insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or insoles if needed.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
They are best suited for light to moderate trails, forest paths, gravel tracks, and general walking where comfort and reliable grip are important.
How often should I clean the suede?
It's advisable to brush off dirt after each use. Deep cleaning should be done as needed, depending on the conditions you've hiked in.
What does the Ghillie lacing system do?
The Ghillie lacing system uses loops integrated into the upper to create a more secure and easily adjustable fit around the ankle and midfoot.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after use
Ensure the moisture-wicking lining is functioning correctly by airing out shoes after each use. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Laces come undone easily
Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with a more secure type of hiking lace.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but caution is always advised on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris.
Suede material looks worn or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush for cleaning and restoring the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Apply a suede protector spray for added defense against stains and water.
