Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX is durable, periodic treatment with a suitable waterproofing spray can help maintain the upper's water repellency, especially after extensive use.
- Lining: Ensure the textile lining is clean to maintain breathability. Spot clean if necessary.
