Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Trabuco 14 GTX shoes, proper maintenance is essential:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before attempting long-distance hikes to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush after each use. If the shoes are extremely muddy, wipe with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the adhesives and synthetic materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth inside the waterproof lining.
