Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Peregrine 16 GTX, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks or light jogs to allow the upper and midsole to adapt to your foot shape before tackling technical hikes.
- Cleaning: Remove excess mud after each use by brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush. Do not use harsh detergents or machine wash, as this can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as heat can warp the cushioning materials and damage the waterproof lining.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree or stuffed newspaper can help the shoes maintain their shape during extended periods of inactivity.
