Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male hikers. Compatible with standard hiking socks. Not designed for specific athletic disciplines other than trail running and hiking.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The Gore-Tex membrane is durable, but avoid excessive scrubbing or the use of waterproofing treatments not specifically designed for Gore-Tex footwear, as they can compromise breathability.
