- Is the Mt. Maddsen Slip-On actually waterproof?
- Yes. It has a waterproof membrane plus a leather and fabric upper, so it handles rain, wet grass and puddles. It is not a Gore-Tex model, and standing in deep water can still soak through.
- How does it compare with the laced Mt. Maddsen?
- Same cushioned EVA midsole and rubber outsole family, but the slip-on trades laces for elastic goring. You gain speed and lose the ability to tighten the fit, so the laced version is better for steep or rough trails.
- Should I size up?
- If you have wide feet or wear thick socks, going up a half size is common. The shoe runs narrow, and there are no laces to loosen the fit.
- Can I hike in these or are they just casual shoes?
- They work for easy day hikes, flat trails and camp wear. The soft EVA midsole and low slip-on upper give little ankle support, so skip them for steep, rocky or long backcountry routes.
- What is the upper made of?
- Leather and fabric, with a recycled fabric lining and an EVA insole. The rubber outsole has lugs for traction on dirt and gravel.
- Do they need a break-in period?
- Yes. The leather starts stiff, and most owners report a few days to a couple of weeks of wear before the upper softens and molds to the foot.
