At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Fast and light hiking on technical terrain where agility and weight reduction are critical.
• Multiday trekking in unpredictable weather conditions that require reliable GORE-TEX waterproofing.
• Hikers who prefer a more inclusive, roomy fit that allows for natural toe splay during long descents.
• Shifting environments including loose dirt, slippery mud, and rocky outcrops where the Vibram Megagrip excels.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shoes are designed for a Comfort Fit, offering more space in the toe box and a less restrictive feel around the midfoot than traditional technical footwear.
• The advanced lug geometry is specifically shaped to shed mud and promote a smooth, natural stride on uneven ground.
  
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size, as the Comfort Fit is already engineered to provide ample room for foot expansion during high-mileage days.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Surface clean only using a soft brush or damp cloth to remove mud and debris after every hike.
• Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as the mechanical action and heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and the bonded TPU reinforcements.
• Allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature; avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators which can crack the synthetic materials.
• Remove the insoles during drying to ensure the interior moisture is fully evaporated and to maintain a fresh environment for your feet.
• Treat the CORDURA upper with a footwear-specific water repellent spray occasionally to maintain the fabric's ability to shed water.
