Care
A fan favorite, the Men's Hedgehog GORE-TEX® are the ultimate hiking shoes. They have a rugged design, underfoot cushioning and waterproof GORE-TEX® booties. Our waterproof footwear incorporates a variety of advanced waterproofing materials, treatments, and processes. To help keep feet dry, we use internal waterproof membranes and/or adhesive and seam-seal constructions.
Durable Mesh + Leather Upper
Upper is built with a durable mix of mesh, PU-coated leather, and synthetic-nubuck leather — breathable where you need airflow, abrasion-resistant where you need structure, and protective where you kick rocks and roots.
Leather Working Group Certified
100% of the leather in this shoe comes from Leather Working Group–certified tanneries — tanneries rated for environmental stewardship and responsible chemical management.
Waterproof GORE-TEX® 3L Bootie
Durably waterproof GORE-TEX® 3L bootie with a liner made from 100% recycled material — keeps water out and lets vapor escape, so your feet stay dry from the inside out on wet trails and stream crossings.
Molded-EVA Midsole
Single-density, molded-EVA midsole delivers underfoot cushioning that absorbs impact on rocky descents without packing out over the life of the shoe.
TPU Heel Cradle
TPU heel cradle wraps the rearfoot for added stability — keeps your heel locked in on uneven terrain and reduces ankle roll on side-hilling.
Supportive Midfoot Shank
Midfoot shank adds torsional rigidity — protects the arch on rocky, uneven ground and gives the shoe a stable platform under load.
Vibram® XS Trek Outsole
High-traction Vibram® XS Trek outsole grips wet rock, loose dirt, and root-laced trail — the gold-standard hiking rubber compound for technical terrain.

After-Use Cleaning
Brush off loose dirt and mud with a soft-bristle brush. Remove the insoles and let them air dry separately — insoles trap moisture against the footbed and need their own air time.
Drying
Stuff the toe box with newspaper or use a boot/shoe dryer to wick moisture from the inside out. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources — radiators and campfires will dry out the leather and break down the GORE-TEX® membrane over time.
Avoid
Don't machine wash or machine dry — agitation breaks down the glue bonds at the seams, and high heat delaminates the GORE-TEX® bootie. Don't store damp — mildew and odor are the result.
DWR Refresh
The water-repellent finish on the leather and mesh wears over time. Refresh with a spray-on DWR treatment designed for footwear — apply to a clean, dry pair and let cure before wearing.
Leather Care
If the leather looks dried out, treat it with a leather conditioner or balm designed for hiking footwear. Avoid heavy oils — they can soften the leather too much and reduce the support.
