Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hiking shoes are ready for use right out of the box. Ensure the correct fit by trying them on with your preferred hiking socks. Adjust the lacing system to your comfort level for a secure fit.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking on trails, mixed terrain, and multi-day treks. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. Not recommended for technical rock climbing or extreme winter conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, rinsing thoroughly. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane and the topical water repellency treatment offer initial protection. For long-term care, consider using a specialized waterproofing spray designed for leather and fabric footwear, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent mildew.
