Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the DREAMBOUND™ midsole is designed for high-rebound cushioning, making them excellent for extended trail usage.
Do I need to spray these with a water repellent?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides internal waterproofing. While the exterior fabric is durable, you can use a DWR-safe spray to maintain the water-beading properties of the upper.
Can I wear these for casual wear?
While technically trail shoes, the neutral design allows for casual use, though they are specifically tuned for performance on trails.
How do I choose the correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing. We recommend checking the size guide to ensure a comfortable fit for your foot length.
Are these shoes breathable?
Yes, GORE-TEX technology allows for moisture vapor to escape while keeping water out, providing a balanced environment for your feet.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe despite the GORE-TEX lining
Check for cracks in the outer material or debris stuck in the gusset. Ensure the shoe is not submerged deeper than the ankle collar.
Loss of traction on wet surfaces
Inspect the Surface CTRL™ outsole for mud or packed dirt trapped in the lugs. Clear the lugs to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Altamesa 500 V2 shoes, follow these maintenance tips:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before attempting longer treks to allow the midsole to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike. If muddy, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry area to prevent mold growth on the fabric uppers.
