FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Adidas x Fear of God Athletics Los Angeles Hiker features a washed suede upper and is not designed to be waterproof. While a protective spray can offer some water resistance, avoid heavy rain or standing water to preserve the material.
Can I use these for intense hiking?
These shoes are best suited for light hiking, urban exploration, and everyday casual wear. While they offer good traction and support, they are not built for strenuous, multi-day, or extreme-weather hiking conditions.
How do I clean the washed suede?
To clean washed suede, first remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the fit like?
These shoes feature a lace closure for an adjustable fit. The mid-cut height provides additional ankle support. For best comfort, ensure your regular UK shoe size is selected, and allow for some break-in period if necessary.
What makes these different from standard hiking boots?
The Adidas x Fear of God Athletics Los Angeles Hiker blends premium fashion aesthetics with outdoor-inspired functionality. Unlike traditional heavy-duty hiking boots, they prioritize style and versatility for urban and light outdoor settings, using materials like washed suede rather than rugged, fully waterproof synthetics.
Is this model available in other sizes or colors?
Info needed: This specific guide is for the UK 9 Carbon model. Other sizes and color variations may exist; please check the product listings for availability.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or discolored
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and consider a suede conditioner to revitalize the color.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure you are using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot). Laces may also be replaced with alternative materials for better grip.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the lugged outsole provides good traction, all footwear can slip on very wet or icy surfaces. Exercise caution and consider a different shoe for extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

These hikers are designed for unisex adult wear and are ideal for diverse casual and active wardrobes. They pair well with athletic-inspired outfits, streetwear, or even smart-casual attire. Best suited for light hiking, urban exploration, and everyday wear where comfort and style are desired.
Care:
- Cleaning the Suede: Gently brush off dry dirt and dust using a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for washed suede, applying sparingly and following product instructions.
- Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray to repel water and stains, especially before first wear and periodically thereafter.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
