Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Challenger 8, proper maintenance is essential. Upon first use, ensure the laces are tightened to provide a secure lockdown across the midfoot, which is crucial for stability on uneven ground. When the shoes become dirty, gently remove mud and debris with a soft-bristle brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the midsole foam. Instead, air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup inside the GORE-TEX lining.
