FAQs
Are the Mist GTX shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the Mist GTX features a GORE-TEX waterproof lining designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions. This is combined with a waxed nubuck upper for added water resistance.
Can I wear these shoes in warm weather?
The GORE-TEX lining provides breathability, making them suitable for a range of temperatures. However, they are optimized for wet weather and may feel warmer than unlined shoes in very hot, dry conditions.
How do I clean the waxed nubuck upper?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more stubborn marks, a specialized nubuck cleaner can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 32mm.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with your own custom orthotics if needed.
What does 'Stability+' technology do?
Stability+ technology is integrated into the shoe to provide enhanced support underfoot, offering a more secure and confident feeling when walking, especially on uneven surfaces.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
The Mist GTX is offered in a standard width. Customers with wider feet might find them snug.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX.
Ensure the shoe's outer material is clean and free from excessive dirt, which can impede GORE-TEX performance. Check laces are not overly tight, which can restrict natural foot perspiration. If the dampness persists, consider if the shoes have been submerged for extended periods or if the waterproofing needs reapplication.
Discomfort during long walks.
Adjust the lace tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure the removable insoles are correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, the shoes may require a break-in period, or your gait may benefit from custom orthotics if the standard fit is not optimal.
Slightly tight fit.
Wear the shoes with the type of socks you typically use for walking. Loosen the laces and walk around the house to allow the leather to soften and adapt to your foot shape. If they remain uncomfortably tight after a break-in period, they may not be the best fit for your foot width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit. The insoles are removable, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics if desired.
Compatibility: Designed for walking and light hiking, suitable for adult women. The standard width fits most foot types, but those with wider feet may find them snug.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the waxed nubuck upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may wish to apply a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather and GORE-TEX to maintain optimal water resistance, especially after significant wear or cleaning.
