FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
The Mist GTX shoes offer good protection from wetness and moderate warmth. For extreme cold with snow, insulated winter boots might be more appropriate. However, with appropriate socks, they can be comfortable in cool conditions.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, waterproofing, and construction of the shoe.
How do I clean the waxed nubuck upper?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally and consider using a specific care product for nubuck footwear to maintain its condition and water resistance.
What does 'GTX' mean?
GTX is shorthand for GORE-TEX, indicating that the footwear incorporates GORE-TEX product technology for waterproofing and breathability.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 32mm.
What type of fastening do these shoes have?
These shoes feature a traditional lace-up fastening system.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after wearing in rain.
Ensure the laces are tied securely to prevent water from entering the top. Check that the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. If the shoes are old, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the upper may need reapplication, or the GORE-TEX membrane itself may be compromised.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or tight.
Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. If the discomfort persists, consider the wide fit design; if your feet are narrow, these may not be the best option. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.
Traction feels insufficient on slippery surfaces.
Clean the PU sole of any mud or debris that may be hindering grip. While designed for varied terrain, extremely slick surfaces like wet polished stone may still require careful footing.
