Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Kaha 3 shoes, it is recommended to break them in on short, flat walks before tackling steep, multi-day mountain routes. The shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; however, mid-weight merino wool socks are recommended to pair with the GORE-TEX membrane for optimal moisture management. To care for your shoes, remove surface dirt after each hike using a soft-bristled brush. If the footwear becomes saturated, stuff the interior with newspaper or a dry cloth and allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area. Avoid placing them directly near heaters or in sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesives used in the sole and membrane construction.
