Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, break in the boots on shorter walks before embarking on long-distance winter treks. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly—snug enough to prevent heel slip but loose enough to allow blood circulation, which is vital for keeping feet warm in freezing conditions. For care, wipe away mud and salt after every hike using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Because the upper is made of suede and leather, use a specialized waterproofing spray periodically to maintain the exterior's hydrophobic coating. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can damage the insulating materials and adhesives.
