Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and Fit:
These shoes are designed to fit true to size. Ensure you wear appropriate hiking socks to account for the thickness of the leather upper. For the best comfort, wear the shoes indoors for short periods initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt and mud using a soft, dry brush after every hike.
- Stain Removal: Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Protection: Apply a leather-specific water-repellent spray if you plan on hiking in damp conditions to extend the lifespan and maintain the aesthetic of the material.
