Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit. The removable insoles can be taken out if you wish to replace them with custom orthotics.
Compatibility: The Hotter Mist GTX Hiking Shoes are designed for adult women. They are suitable for general walking, hiking, and everyday wear in wet or variable weather conditions. They are not designed for extreme mountaineering or specialized athletic activities.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the waxed nubuck upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically treat the waxed nubuck with a suitable waterproofing spray or wax designed for leather to maintain its water-resistant properties.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Lining Care: The textile lining can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure the insoles are removed and aired out regularly to prevent odors.
