Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first long hike, wear these shoes on shorter walks to allow the mid-cut collar to contour to your ankle. To maintain the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the foam midsole and adhesive bonds. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks to complement the breathable nature of the membrane, preventing sweat buildup during high-intensity ascents.
