Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the laces to your preference. The lace-up system allows for a customized fit, tightening or loosening as needed throughout your activity.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking and general outdoor activities. Suitable for various trail types, from dirt paths to rocky terrain. The mid-height offers ankle support, making them compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning Uppers: Wipe the synthetic leather and textile upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and wipe clean.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but for optimal performance, avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the upper; if water is no longer beading, a reapplication might be necessary following product instructions.
- Sole Care: Clean the Vibram outsole with a brush to remove mud and debris, ensuring continued grip.
