FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?
They are best suited for walking, light trails, and everyday urban use rather than rigorous mountain climbing.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the GORE-TEX membrane. Clean by hand using a damp cloth or specialized suede brush.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the dual-density insole is typically designed to be removable if you need to use custom orthotics.
Do I need to treat them before first use?
While they come pre-treated, applying a suede-safe water repellent spray is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
What is the best way to dry them if they get soaked?
Stuff the shoes with crumpled newspaper and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the shoe surface
Apply a fresh coat of GORE-TEX compatible waterproofing spray to restore the outer fabric's beading effect.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede eraser or a suede-specific brush to gently lift the fibers and restore the nap.
Internal dampness
If condensation builds up, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks, as the GORE-TEX membrane releases sweat vapor more effectively with appropriate technical fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed as 'ready-to-wear' out of the box with no specific break-in period required. To maintain the integrity of the suede upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud after outdoor use. If the shoes become soaked, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and stiffen the suede. For long-term protection, apply a reputable suede-specific water repellent spray annually.
