FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They are suitable for most temperate weather and light trail conditions, but they are not specifically insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
How do I ensure the correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose a size that allows for a thumb's width of space at the front of the toes.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended, as mechanical agitation can compromise the waterproof membrane and the structural adhesives.
Does the waterproof protection last forever?
The membrane is durable, but its effectiveness can diminish over time based on usage and environmental exposure. Regular cleaning helps maintain performance.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary material of the outsole?
The outsole is constructed from a blend of Phylon, which provides lightweight shock absorption, and durable rubber for traction.
Troubleshooting
Moisture feeling inside the shoe despite the waterproof membrane
This is often due to perspiration buildup if wearing non-breathable cotton socks. Switch to moisture-wicking synthetic or wool hiking socks.
Outsole losing traction
Check the treads for packed mud or debris and clean them thoroughly with a stiff brush.
Discomfort around the ankle
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened at the top hook; adjust the tension to allow for natural ankle flexion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DLX Johnny Hiking Shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing your standard hiking socks during the initial try-on to account for proper volume and circulation.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, rinse the outsoles with water and allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the laces and ensure the gusseted tongue is aligned correctly before lacing up.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the materials.
