FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While the waterproofing is beneficial, these are not insulated winter boots. They are best suited for three-season hiking (spring, summer, fall) or milder winter conditions with appropriate socks.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and width. Trying them on, ideally in the afternoon when feet are slightly swollen, is the best approach.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Yes, their comfort and support make them suitable for casual wear, especially if you spend time on your feet or walk outdoors frequently.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Warranty information can vary by retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details and duration.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
Reapplication frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. Inspect the shoes regularly; if water no longer beads on the surface, it's time to reapply.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average-width feet. While they offer some room, individuals with very wide feet might find them restrictive. Check for specific wide-fit versions if available.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite being waterproof
Ensure the laces are tied properly to seal the tongue. Check if the socks used are also moisture-wicking. If the issue persists after extended use in wet conditions, the waterproofing may need reapplication.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
This is common during the break-in period. Wear the shoes for progressively longer periods on shorter walks. Ensure socks provide adequate padding. If discomfort persists, verify the sizing is correct.
Slipping on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. For extremely slick surfaces, tread carefully. The grip is optimized for typical trail conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no special setup. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and performance. We recommend wearing them for short walks initially to allow them to adapt to your foot.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking and general outdoor activities. They are compatible with most types of hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically apply a waterproofing treatment suitable for hiking footwear to maintain the effectiveness of the WP membrane.
