Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are properly threaded through the eyelets for a secure fit. Adjust tightness based on comfort and the terrain.
- Socks: Use hiking socks designed to wick moisture and provide extra cushioning. Consider the sock thickness to ensure a proper fit within the boot.
- Break-In: Before long hikes, wear the boots on shorter walks to allow them to mold to your feet.
Compatibility
These boots are best paired with:
- Hiking socks
- Appropriate hiking clothing
- Backpacks suitable for day or multi-day hikes
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, remove dirt and debris with a brush or damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
