Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the GORE-TEX functionality and the leather's appearance. Follow these steps:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that can damage the GORE-TEX membrane or leather.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. *Never* use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can crack the leather and compromise the GORE-TEX.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Ensure the conditioner is suitable for GORE-TEX materials.
- Waterproofing Reinforcement: While GORE-TEX is inherently waterproof, a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment on the exterior fabric can wear off over time. Consider reapplying a GORE-TEX approved spray-on DWR treatment to the exterior surface every few months, especially if you notice water no longer beads up on the surface.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
