Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first long hike, it is recommended to wear the shoes on shorter walks to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly to prevent heel slip. To maintain the shoes, remove loose dirt after every walk using a soft brush. If the leather becomes saturated, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to crack. Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the upper supple and waterproof and consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior to maintain water beading.
