Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your UK size (e.g., UK 8) before your first excursion, as trail shoes should have a slight amount of room in the toe box to account for foot swelling during long hikes. To clean, remove excess mud with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the cushioning technology and adhesive bonds. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials.
