Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use with minimal break-in. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first outing. Lace them appropriately to secure your heel without restricting circulation.
Compatibility: The Oboz Bridger Mid Bdry are designed for hiking and walking on varied outdoor terrain. They pair well with standard hiking socks. For optimal waterproofing, ensure your trousers do not constantly rub against the boot's upper, which could compromise the BDry membrane over time.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: If the boots become wet inside, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture.
- Conditioning: The leather upper should be treated periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and water resistance. Ensure the conditioner is compatible with waterproof membranes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
