FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking?

The Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoes are ideal for light to moderate trails and daily walks. For serious or technical hiking, especially on uneven terrain or with heavy packs, high-cut boots offering greater ankle support would be more appropriate.

How do I know if they are truly waterproof?

The shoes feature a waterproof membrane upper, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions like rain and puddles. While highly water-resistant, submerging them completely for extended periods or damage to the upper can compromise their waterproof integrity.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and compromise the waterproof membrane. Always clean them with a soft damp cloth as instructed in the care section.

What is the best way to break in these shoes?

Start by wearing them for short periods around the house or on short walks. Gradually increase the duration and distance of your walks to allow the shoes to conform to your feet and prevent discomfort.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

For best comfort and moisture management, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking walking socks. Avoid cotton socks, which can retain moisture and lead to blisters.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

The Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoes offer standard comfort and support for their category. If you require additional arch support due to specific foot conditions, you may consider using aftermarket insoles.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper is made from a durable synthetic material with a waterproof membrane, designed for protection and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Feet still feel damp or wet inside the shoes in rainy conditions.

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the ankle opening. Check for any damage or tears to the upper material that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Clean the shoes regularly, as dirt can impede waterproof performance. Consider wearing waterproof gaiters for deep puddles or heavy rain.

Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces despite the rugged outsole.

The outsole is designed for various terrains but can still slip on extremely slick surfaces like ice or polished wet rock. Slow down and tread carefully on such surfaces. Check the outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear that might reduce grip.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after extended wear.

Ensure you have the correct size and allow for adequate break-in time. Try different types of socks (e.g., moisture-wicking walking socks) to improve comfort and prevent friction. Adjust lacing tightness to find the optimal balance between security and comfort.

Setup The Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoes are designed for immediate use with minimal setup. 1. Lacing: Utilize the classic lacing system to secure the shoes to your feet. Ensure the laces are snug but not overtight, allowing for comfortable movement. The pull loop at the heel aids in pulling the shoe on. 2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes around your home for a short period to break them in and ensure a comfortable fit before embarking on longer walks. ### Compatibility These walking shoes are versatile and compatible with various environments and activities: * Terrains: Ideal for light to moderate trails, park paths, forest walks, urban environments, and uneven natural surfaces. The rugged outsole provides reliable grip. * Weather: Specifically designed with a waterproof membrane, making them suitable for wet conditions, including rain, puddles, and damp ground. * Activities: Perfect for daily walking, light hiking, dog walking, gardening, and general outdoor casual wear. ### Care Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your Gelert Horizon Low WP Walking Shoes. * Cleaning: 1. Remove any loose dirt or mud with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) or by tapping the soles together. 2. Using a soft damp cloth, gently wipe down the synthetic upper to remove grime. 3. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and synthetic materials. 4. Clean the outsole with a brush and water to remove debris and maintain grip. * Drying: 1. After cleaning or exposure to wet conditions, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. 2. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces) or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade the materials and adhesives. 3. For faster drying, you can loosely stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, changing it periodically. * Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
