FAQs
Are the Hotter Mist GTX shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature GORE-TEX product technology, which is designed to be durably waterproof and breathable, keeping your feet dry from the outside elements.
What makes the FreeSole technology beneficial?
FreeSole is engineered to return energy with every step, helping to reduce fatigue and provide a more comfortable, responsive walking experience, especially on longer journeys.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the shoes come with removable insoles, allowing you to replace them with your own preferred insoles or orthotics for a customized fit.
What type of material is the upper made from?
The upper is made from waxed nubuck, a type of leather known for its durability and water resistance, with a classic finish.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, these shoes are specifically designed with a wide fit to accommodate a broader range of foot shapes and ensure comfort.
How should I clean and care for the waxed nubuck material?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a slightly damp cloth for marks. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 32mm.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet after use
Check that laces are fully secured and the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Ensure the shoes have been properly aired out and dried after previous use. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may be compromised.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the lacing to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure the correct size and width are being worn. The removable insoles can be replaced with custom orthotics if needed.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the PU sole is clean from mud or debris. Some smooth surfaces may naturally offer less grip. The sole design is optimized for varied outdoor terrain.
Shoes feel stiff initially
The shoes may require a short breaking-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The flexible sole and quality materials should adapt to your foot shape.

Care:
