FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear, or only for hiking?
The Hotter Mist GTX are designed for versatile use. Their waterproof features and comfort technology make them excellent for hiking and wet weather, but they are also comfortable and durable enough for everyday wear, especially in climates with frequent rain.
How do I determine if the wide fit is right for me?
The wide fit is designed for individuals who find standard width shoes restrictive. If you often experience pressure on the sides of your feet or need more room in the toe box, the wide fit is likely suitable. Consider trying them on with your typical walking socks.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides inherent waterproofing. Re-waterproofing the nubuck upper may be beneficial for maintaining its appearance and protective qualities, especially with frequent use in wet conditions. Follow the instructions on your chosen waterproofing product.
Can I remove the insoles to fit my own orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for a personalized fit and support.
What is the heel height and is it stable?
The heel height is 32mm. This provides a slight lift and support while maintaining stability for walking and light hiking.
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and performance, especially with the waterproof lining, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking socks made from wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, which can hold moisture.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after wear
Ensure the GORE-TEX lining is not compromised and that laces are not trapping water. Check if the shoe has been submerged for extended periods. Allow shoes to dry completely between wears.
Shoe feels too tight despite being wide fit
Verify the correct size is being worn. If the shoes are new, they may need a short breaking-in period. Ensure laces are not overtightened. Consider using the shoes with thinner socks.
Slight rubbing or discomfort
This can occur with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure socks are fitting well and not bunching. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or debris.
Reduced grip on the sole
Inspect the PU sole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If wear is significant, consider replacement.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the waxed nubuck upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and a soft brush. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Lining: The textile lining can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth.
- Sole: Clean the PU sole with a damp cloth.
- Waterproofing: While GORE-TEX is highly durable, avoid harsh chemicals that could compromise the membrane's integrity. Periodically check and re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment for nubuck if needed, following product instructions.
