Use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water to clean. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
This technology integrates the GORE-TEX membrane directly into the shoe's lining for a lighter, more breathable, and comfortable fit without compromising waterproof protection.
The engineered mesh upper is made from 100% rPET, which means it is made from recycled plastic bottles, contributing to a more sustainable product.

The 4mm multi-directional lugs are designed to provide reliable grip on a variety of surfaces, including pavement, gravel, and packed dirt trails.
