Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, follow these guidelines for maintenance and wear:
- Break-in Period: Wear your shoes for short walks around the house or on flat ground before attempting a full day hike to ensure the fit is comfortable.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the materials and glue.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and material deterioration.
