FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
The Mist GTX shoes are primarily designed for wet weather. While they offer good protection, they are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, consider adding thicker socks or an insulated insole.
How do I know if the wide fit is right for me?
The wide fit is designed to provide more room in the forefoot and across the width of the shoe. If you typically find standard width shoes constricting, the wide fit may be more comfortable.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and shoe construction. Hand clean using the recommended care instructions.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 32mm.
Can the insoles be replaced with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles.
How durable is the waxed nubuck material?
Waxed nubuck is a durable material that offers good resistance to wear and tear, as well as water repellency. Regular care will help maintain its condition.
What is the benefit of FreeSole technology?
FreeSole technology is designed to absorb impact and return energy with each step, helping to reduce foot fatigue and provide a more comfortable walking experience.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not constricting fit.
Water seeping into the shoes.
Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Ensure laces are tied securely, as water can sometimes enter through lace gaps. If damage is apparent, contact customer support.
Difficulty cleaning the nubuck upper.
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaning brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry naturally.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the PU soles are clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for grip, performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Consider an aftermarket grip enhancer if needed.
