Can I use these for daily walking?

How should I clean the GORE-TEX upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt and clean with mild soap and water. Do not put them in the washing machine.

Are these suitable for snow hiking?

Troubleshooting
Moisture inside the shoe during dry conditions
Check if sweat accumulation is the cause; ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks to improve breathability.
Reduced traction on trails
Clean the Continental rubber outsole thoroughly to remove packed-in mud or debris blocking the lugs.
Uncomfortable pressure at the ankle
Adjust the tension of the laces near the collar to allow for more flexibility or try a different lacing pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Free Hiker 3, start by ensuring a secure fit with the lace system; tighten from the bottom eyelets upward to achieve a locked-in feel. While the GORE-TEX membrane is waterproof, avoid submerging the shoes past the collar line as water can enter from the top. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike. If the shoes become muddy, hand-wash them with mild soap and lukewarm water, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic overlays and foam integrity.
