Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth. For maintenance and to preserve water repellency, use a specialized nubuck or waxed leather conditioner. Always test products on a small, hidden area first.

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with your own custom orthotics or different insoles for added comfort or support.

FreeSole technology is designed to return energy with each step, providing a responsive feel and helping to reduce fatigue during long walks or hikes.

GORE-TEX provides a high level of waterproofing by preventing external water from entering the shoe while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions.

The shoes feature a durable and flexible Polyurethane (PU) sole, designed to offer good grip and comfort for walking and hiking.

The heel height for these shoes is 32mm.

Ensure laces are tightly secured and check for any damage to the shoe's seams or upper material. Reapply leather conditioner to the upper if it appears dry, as a well-maintained leather upper is crucial for overall waterproofing.

Check that the shoes are laced correctly for your foot shape. Try adjusting the lacing tension. If the issue persists, consider using the removable insoles for added cushioning or to slightly alter the internal fit. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking.

Inspect the PU sole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole with water and a brush. If the sole is significantly worn, replacement might be considered, though this is typically after extensive use.

While GORE-TEX is breathable, excessive activity or warm weather can still lead to warmth. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Remove and air out the insoles if possible.
