Hiking grip
"Great pair of shoes. The base is super comfy and waterproof"
Lightweight sturdy shoe but fatal flaw.
"The good: very comfy, stable, lightweight trail shoe. Good sole for traction. Good stability considering the height of cushion. Unfortunately, there is a fatal flaw. The lace tends to tear through the plastic eyelets. This has happened to me on two pairs of these shoes- first time this has happened to me in 40 years worth of running."

Care instructions
- Caring for your footwear is simple, just follow these three easy steps:
- Clean
- Waterproof
- Dry
Clean
- Brush off dirt, remove the shoelaces and the O FIT Insole, and rinse your footwear.
- Avoid using solvents, petroleum, and detergents on your shoes.
- Once you have generously applied the gel, rinse the boots again.
Waterproof
- If the surface of your shoes is absorbing water, it’s time to re-waterproof.
- Even styles with a B-DRY membrane will benefit from re-waterproofing.
- Dry for a few minutes, then wipe off any excess proof.
Dry
- Let the boots air-dry completely.
- Do not put your shoes in a clothes washer or dryer.
- To speed up drying, stuff your shoes with dry cloths to soak up excess moisture.
- Lace up your clean and dry footwear and hit the trail!
