FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy-duty hiking?
These shoes are designed for urban exploration and light trail walking. They feature durable construction and good traction but are not intended for technical hiking, mountaineering, or extremely rugged terrain.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by adidas or the retailer. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. The product is listed in UK adult sizes.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the premium materials and construction of the shoes. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What makes the Fear of God Athletics collaboration special?
This collaboration merges Fear of God's distinct streetwear aesthetic with adidas's performance technology, resulting in a unique design that blends high fashion with athletic functionality.
How should I care for the 'Sesame' color to keep it looking new?
Regularly brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap and water. Allow to air dry. Consider using a protective spray suitable for the shoe materials.
What type of socks are best to wear with these hikers?
Standard athletic socks or hiking socks designed for comfort and moisture-wicking are recommended for general wear. For longer walks, consider socks with cushioning.
What are the main differences between these and traditional hiking boots?
These hikers prioritize style and comfort for lighter use, featuring a more casual silhouette and materials often found in fashion footwear. Traditional hiking boots typically offer more ankle support, rugged soles, and advanced waterproofing for demanding outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels slightly stiff initially
This is common with premium materials. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The materials will soften and conform to your foot shape over time.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for varied conditions, but performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris.
Dirt is difficult to remove from the 'Sesame' colorway
Use a specialized shoe cleaner designed for suede or nubuck, following product instructions carefully. Alternatively, a very soft brush and a slightly damp cloth can be effective for light dirt.
