FAQs
What material is the upper of these hikers made from?
The upper is crafted from premium washed suede, offering a distinctive look and feel.
Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking?
While outdoor-inspired with excellent traction from the lugged outsole, these hikers are designed for versatile use, including urban exploration and light outdoor activities, rather than strenuous or technical hiking.
How do I properly clean the suede material?
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions. Avoid saturating the suede with water or using harsh detergents.
What kind of outsole do these hikers feature?
They feature a specially designed lugged outdoor rubber outsole, engineered to provide unparalleled traction on various surfaces.
Can these be worn in rainy or wet conditions?
The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. While the outsole offers good grip, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended and can potentially damage the suede. Consider a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance.
What is the benefit of the mid-cut height?
The mid-cut height provides additional ankle support and stability, which is beneficial for navigating varied terrains and offers enhanced comfort during extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede upper appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently buff away dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner formulated for washed suede, following the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Loss of grip on certain surfaces.
Check the lugged outsole for any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris and clean it thoroughly. Evaluate if the terrain is beyond the intended use of the shoe for optimal traction.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across the foot for a comfortable, secure fit. A break-in period may also be needed for new shoes to conform to your foot shape.
Suede feels stiff after getting wet.
Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and softness of the material.

Care
Given the premium washed suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your hikers.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a suede cleaner specifically designed for washed suede can be applied, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using excessive water or harsh detergents, as these can damage the suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially if you plan to wear them in varying weather conditions.
- Drying: If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the suede to stiffen or crack.
- Storage: Store your hikers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
