Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Berghaus Expeditor Trek 2.0 shoes last for seasons to come, proper care is essential:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short, flat walks initially to allow the suede and footbed to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, allow mud to dry before brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using harsh soaps on the suede.
- Waterproof Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede-safe waterproofing spray periodically to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) performance on the exterior.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or radiators, which can cause the suede to crack and the adhesive to degrade.
- Drying: If wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper. Let them air dry slowly at room temperature.
