FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are designed with breathability in mind and are not waterproof. They are water-resistant to a degree due to the suede material but will soak through in heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends.
How do I choose the right size?
The shoes are listed in UK sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to a standard UK sizing chart, or try them on if possible, to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
We do not recommend machine washing these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning and hand washing are the preferred methods.
What is the primary intended use for these shoes?
The Hi-Tec Quadra Classic Hiking Shoes are primarily designed for walking, light hiking, and general outdoor activities on well-maintained trails and paths.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and enhanced grip, providing good wear resistance for regular use on various terrains.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the ghillie laces and re-tie, ensuring they are not overtightened. Consider wearing thinner socks.
Feet feel damp or sweaty
Ensure the moisture-wicking lining is not compromised. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses. Consider using moisture-wicking socks.
Grip is reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded debris. Be cautious when walking on very slick or wet surfaces, as no outsole guarantees complete slip-resistance.
Suede material looks dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a suede cleaning guide.
