These shoes require no specific setup beyond initial wear to break them in. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before embarking on longer hikes. The lacing system allows for adjustable tension across the foot.

While designed for hiking, they are compatible with most standard hiking socks. They are suitable for use with various outdoor apparel.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. If heavily soiled, wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: To maintain GORE-TEX® performance, periodically clean the shoe and consider using a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for GORE-TEX® footwear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
