FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
These boots are designed for multi-sport use and feature a waterproof membrane. While they offer good grip and protection, they are not specifically insulated for extreme winter conditions. For very cold weather, consider adding thermal socks or a more specialized winter boot.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing. Trying them on with your usual hiking socks is also advised if possible.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces can be replaced. Ensure you use laces of a similar length and material to the originals for optimal fit and function.
What is the benefit of the recycled content in the upper?
Using recycled materials in the upper helps reduce waste and lower the environmental impact of manufacturing, aligning with sustainability goals.
How often should I re-waterproof the boots?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, it's a good time to reapply a waterproofing treatment suitable for GORE-TEX footwear.
Are these boots suitable for via ferratas?
Yes, their technical design, stable feel, and all-conditions grip make them suitable for challenging terrains, including via ferratas, as mentioned in the product description.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of several hikes. Wear them with appropriate hiking socks to assess fit and comfort.
Water seeping into the boots
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check that laces are tied correctly and the tongue is properly positioned to seal out water. If leakage persists, the membrane may be compromised and require professional assessment.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the Continental™ Rubber outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure the surfaces you are traversing are not excessively polished or contaminated.
Ankle collar feels too tight
Loosen the laces around the ankle area. The gusseted tongue and collar are designed for a snug fit, but adjust lacing to your preference.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
