Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hiking shoes require no specific setup. They are designed for immediate use right out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard hiking socks. They are suitable for use with most hiking gaiters.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat, which can degrade the membrane. If the waterproofing seems compromised over time, consider using a specialized waterproofing spray suitable for GORE-TEX footwear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a well-ventilated area.
