FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy-duty mountaineering?
The Mist GTX is designed as a hiking shoe, best suited for day hikes and general outdoor use in wet conditions. For technical mountaineering, more specialized footwear with stiffer soles and higher ankle support would be recommended.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
With proper care, the GORE-TEX membrane is designed for the lifetime of the shoe. Regular cleaning and drying, as well as avoiding harsh chemicals, will help maintain its performance.
Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?
While the GORE-TEX provides breathability, these shoes are optimized for wet weather. In very hot and dry conditions, other footwear might offer better ventilation.
What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
Moisture-wicking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends are recommended to complement the breathability of the GORE-TEX lining and keep feet dry.
How do I choose the right size?
The shoes are available in a wide fit. It is recommended to measure your foot at the end of the day when feet are typically at their largest. Compare your measurement to the sizing chart and consider the type of socks you will wear.
Are the insoles replaceable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or different insoles for added comfort or support if desired.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 32mm.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX.
Ensure laces are fully tightened for a secure fit, preventing water ingress around the ankle. Check for any damage to the upper or sole that might compromise waterproofing. Internal moisture build-up can also occur if socks are not breathable; consider moisture-wicking socks.
Shoes feel too loose or offer insufficient support.
Adjust the lace tension to better secure your foot. For added support, consider replacing the removable insoles with aftermarket insoles designed for hiking.
Slight stiffness or rubbing on first wear.
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. Consider using a soft leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck if dryness is an issue.
Difficulty cleaning mud or dirt from nubuck.
Allow mud to dry first, then brush off with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Care:

- Lining: The textile lining can be spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly dried to prevent mildew.
- Sole: Wipe the PU sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
- Waterproofing: To maintain GORE-TEX performance, avoid using silicone-based sprays or waxes, as these can compromise breathability. Follow specific GORE-TEX care recommendations if needed.
