FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the suede material offers some natural resistance, these hikers are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a suede protector spray for enhanced water resistance, but avoid heavy rain or standing water to protect the material.
Can I wear these for intense hiking?
These shoes are "outdoor-inspired" and designed for light hiking, urban exploration, and casual wear, offering stability and traction. For intense, technical, or multi-day hiking, specialized heavy-duty hiking boots would be more appropriate.
How do I choose the right size?
These shoes typically fit true to size. We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you plan to wear most often to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing specific brand sizing guides or customer reviews for advice.
What is the best way to clean the outdoor rubber outsole?
For the rubber outsole, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild soap solution to clean off dirt and debris. Rinse thoroughly with water and let them air dry.
Will the suede change appearance over time?
Like all natural materials, suede can develop a unique patina over time with wear, adding to its character. Consistent cleaning and protection will help maintain its appearance, but slight variations are part of owning genuine suede footwear.
Are these suitable for all seasons?
The premium washed suede makes them suitable for cooler dry weather. While the mid-cut offers some protection, the suede is not ideal for heavy rain or snow. They are best worn in mild to cool, dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
My suede upper looks matted or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaning solution as per its instructions, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
The traction feels less effective on certain surfaces.
Ensure the lugged outsole is clean of any mud, small stones, or debris that might be lodged between the lugs. A clean outsole provides optimal grip. If wear is significant, consider the usage environment and if the terrain exceeds the shoe's design capabilities.
The shoes feel stiff during initial wear.
This is normal for new footwear, especially those with robust materials and support. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. The mid-cut design will become more comfortable with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility
These hikers are highly versatile in terms of style compatibility. They pair well with a range of outfits, from athletic wear and jeans to more tailored casual trousers. Their outdoor-inspired yet refined aesthetic makes them suitable for various occasions, blending seamlessly with both streetwear and a slightly more elevated casual look.
Care
Given the premium washed suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
- Cleaning: For dirt or dust, use a soft suede brush to gently remove debris. Brush in one direction. For more stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for washed suede, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.
