FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Mist GTX shoes are designed with features like FreeSole technology and a dual-density insole for enhanced comfort during extended wear.
How do I clean the waxed nubuck upper?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with your own preferred insoles or orthotics if needed.
What does 'GTX' stand for?
GTX is short for GORE-TEX, indicating that the shoes feature GORE-TEX product technology for waterproof and breathable protection.
How durable is the PU sole?
The PU sole is designed for durability and good traction on various surfaces. However, like all shoe soles, its grip and integrity may diminish with prolonged heavy use.
Will my feet stay dry in heavy rain?
Yes, the GORE-TEX product technology is specifically designed to keep your feet dry in wet weather conditions.
Is the grey colour susceptible to staining?
While the waxed nubuck offers some resistance, it's advisable to clean the shoes promptly after exposure to staining agents to maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight despite wide fit
Ensure laces are fully loosened before putting on. Try wearing thinner socks or removing the insoles if extra volume is needed.
Water seeping through
Check that laces are tied securely and the tongue is positioned correctly. Reapply waterproofing treatment to the upper if the issue persists, as the GORE-TEX membrane may be compromised or the outer material saturated.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the PU sole of any debris. The grip may naturally decrease with significant wear; consider replacing the shoes if the tread is heavily worn.
Discomfort from the heel height
If the 32mm heel height is uncomfortable, try using an additional heel cushion or insole to alter the shoe's internal angle.
