Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, ensure you wear the shoes with the specific thickness of socks you intend to use on the trail to confirm the fit. Since these feature an AQ waterproof membrane, proper maintenance is essential for longevity. Remove the insoles after a particularly wet day to allow the interior to air dry fully. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud from the outsole, and wipe the upper with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals that could degrade the waterproof lining. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the synthetic materials from drying out or cracking.
