FAQs
Are these hikers suitable for serious, multi-day hiking trips?
While outdoor-inspired and featuring a lugged outsole for traction, these are primarily designed for style and light outdoor use. For serious, rugged, or multi-day hiking, dedicated heavy-duty hiking boots with more extensive protection and support are recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It's generally best to try them on, ideally with the type of socks you intend to wear, to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Info needed: [Provide size chart link if available]
Is the washed leather waterproof?
Washed leather offers some natural water resistance, but it is not typically fully waterproof without specific treatment. For enhanced water protection, we recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray. Avoid submersion in water.
Can I wear these in warm weather?
The leather upper provides durability and structure. While suitable for various climates, in very warm conditions, the breathability may be less than mesh-based athletic shoes. The mid-cut design can also feel warmer than low-cut alternatives.
What is the benefit of the mid-cut height?
The mid-cut height provides additional support around the ankle, which can enhance stability on uneven terrain and help prevent ankle rolls. It also offers a distinct aesthetic compared to low-cut footwear.
How should I store my hikers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb any internal moisture, prolonging their life.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new footwear as materials settle. Ensure laces are not overly tight. If it persists, try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole or check for loose components.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are tying a proper double knot. The original laces may be slightly slick; if issues persist, consider replacing them with laces that have more grip, or try different lacing techniques for a tighter hold.
Feet feel uncomfortable after long wear
Ensure you have the correct size and are wearing appropriate socks for the activity. A brief break-in period is often needed for leather footwear. If discomfort continues, consider trying different insoles for added arch support or cushioning.
Loss of traction on certain surfaces
Regularly clean the lugged outsole to remove embedded dirt, mud, or small stones that can reduce grip. Inspect the sole for excessive wear, which might indicate it's time for replacement or professional resoling if possible.

Setup
- Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets. Adjust the tension evenly across your foot and tie them securely using a double knot for maximum hold, especially before extended periods of walking or on uneven terrain.
- Break-In: Like most premium leather footwear, these hikers may benefit from a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Adidas x Fear of God Athletics Los Angeles Hiker - Leather:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft brush. For surface grime, wipe with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If wet, allow the hikers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack or damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream suitable for washed leather to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before wearing in wet conditions. Info needed: [Ensure protector is suitable for washed leather]
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
