Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly before your first hike; proper lacing is key to comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Ideal for mountain hiking, trekking, and long-distance walks. They are designed to work with standard hiking socks. The sole is designed for compatibility with most trail types, particularly those with significant elevation changes.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents.
- Waterproofing: The suede uppers are water-resistant. Periodically apply a suitable water-repellent treatment designed for suede and textile footwear to maintain their performance. Ensure the treatment is compatible with GORE-TEX membranes.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing for extended periods.
- Resoleability: These boots are resolable. When the outsole shows significant wear, consider visiting an authorized SCARPA resole shop to prolong the life of your boots.
