Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These hiking shoes are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tightness using the standard lace-up system. The dual heel and tongue loops can be used for easier pulling on, and the tongue loop is compatible with carabiners for attaching to a pack when not in use.
Compatibility:
Designed for hiking and general outdoor multi-sport activities. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. The sizing is true to size, but it's recommended to try them on or consult the size guide if unsure, especially considering the standard fit.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean using a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Remove insoles and laces to facilitate drying. Never use a machine dryer.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check the GORE-TEX membrane's performance. Follow manufacturer recommendations for re-waterproofing treatments if needed, typically after extensive use or cleaning.
- Odor Control: The Cleansport NXT treatment is inherent to the materials. Regular airing and drying help maintain freshness.
