Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Speedgoat 7 GORE-TEX trainers, ensure you pull the toggle lace evenly for a locked-in fit that doesn't pinch the top of your foot. While the material is water-resistant, it is not immune to heavy mud; wipe off excess debris with a damp, soft cloth after every hike. Avoid submerging the shoes in deep water where it might enter through the collar, as the GORE-TEX membrane is designed to keep external water out, which can also trap water inside if it enters the top. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and the foam density; air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
