FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While durable, they are optimized for amphibious use and technical terrain, so they may feel stiffer than standard casual walking shoes.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the interior is designed to be comfortable against bare skin, though many hikers prefer thin, synthetic moisture-wicking socks to reduce friction.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush and mild soap to gently scrub the mesh, then rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are designed specifically to let water in and out rapidly. They are not intended to keep feet dry in the rain.
Do they provide enough arch support?
Yes, the 3D chassis design provides significant arch and midfoot support for most users.
Troubleshooting
Feeling grit or small stones inside the shoe
Ensure the fit is tightened correctly to minimize movement, or periodically loosen to shake out debris after passing through sandy or gravelly sections.
Shoe feels heavy after water immersion
This is normal during immersion; continue walking to allow the drainage system to expel water. Avoid stopping in deep water for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, tighten the laces to ensure a snug fit that prevents your foot from shifting inside the shoe when wet.
Care Instructions:
- Rinse shoes with fresh water after use in salt water or muddy conditions to remove debris.
- Allow to air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- Avoid placing shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as this can warp the materials.
- Check the outsole periodically for any embedded rocks or debris that might impede grip performance.
