Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your boots, start by loosening the laces fully to allow for easy entry, then tighten them systematically from the bottom up to achieve a secure lockdown that prevents heel slip. These boots are compatible with standard hiking socks; moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool blends are recommended to maximize the effectiveness of the GORE-TEX membrane. For maintenance, keep the boots away from direct heat sources when drying, as this can damage the leather and the waterproof membrane. After muddy hikes, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Regularly remove the PU foam insole to let it air out, which helps maintain hygiene and comfort.
