Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Onyx hiking shoes, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and the waterproofing treatment. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft brush to remove dried mud or debris after every hike. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper; allow them to dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Periodically re-applying a leather conditioner and a spray-on water repellent will help maintain the Hydropel effectiveness and prevent the leather from cracking over time.
