Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the shoes are laced snugly but not overly tight. Use the lacing system to secure your foot, allowing for ankle flex while maintaining support from the mid-height cuff. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable fit for your foot shape and activity.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for hiking and outdoor activities. They are compatible with various hiking socks (wool or synthetic are recommended for moisture-wicking properties) and gaiters for additional protection in very wet or snowy conditions.
Care
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary) to clean the textile upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Waterproof Treatment: While RAIN.RDY offers inherent waterproofing, periodic cleaning and re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray can maintain or enhance water repellency over time, especially after extensive use. Always refer to the specific care instructions on the product label for the best results. The product label specifically advises: `Care: Refer to product label.`
