FAQs
Are the Mist GTX shoes suitable for heavy mountain trekking?
The Mist GTX shoes are designed for comfort and waterproofing on moderate trails and general walking. For extreme mountain trekking with rough terrain and heavy loads, more specialized technical boots may be required.
How do I clean the waxed nubuck upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For conditioning and maintaining water resistance, use a specialized product for waxed leather. Avoid excessive water or harsh cleaning agents.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the shoes come with removable insoles, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for added support or comfort.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but its effectiveness can be maintained by proper care and cleaning. Avoid damage to the shoe's structure and seams, which could compromise the waterproof barrier.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 32mm.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These shoes are described as having a 'Standard' width fitting. If you require a wider fit, it's advisable to try them on or consult the brand's sizing guide for specific measurements.
How should I dry the shoes if they get wet inside?
If the inside of the shoes becomes wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper or a dry towel to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX lining.
Ensure laces are fully tightened for a secure fit and that the tongue is properly aligned to prevent water ingress. Check for any visible damage to the upper or seams that might compromise waterproofing. If the issue persists, the GORE-TEX membrane may be compromised.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.
Wear the shoes with appropriate hiking socks and allow for a break-in period. If discomfort continues, try adjusting the lacing system or consider using the removable insoles for custom orthotics if needed.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Clean the PU sole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering traction. Ensure the tread pattern is clear. The grip performance can vary based on surface conditions.
Shoes feel stiff.
Waxed nubuck can feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods to allow them to soften. If necessary, use a leather conditioner specifically designed for waxed leather to help restore flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
The Mist GTX hiking shoes are designed for adult women. They are compatible with most standard sock types suitable for hiking. The standard width fitting aims to accommodate a wide range of foot shapes.
Care:
- Upper: Clean the waxed nubuck upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for waxed leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Lining: The GORE-TEX lining should be kept clean. If the interior becomes soiled, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash.
- Sole: Clean the PU sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove mud and debris. Ensure the tread is clear for optimal grip.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as high heat can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
