Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure a snug fit that prevents heel slippage, which is critical for long-distance hiking. Since these shoes use GORE-TEX Invisible Fit, they are designed to fit true to size. To maintain the integrity of the waterproofing and the Kevlar fibers, hand wash the shoes with cold water and mild soap after muddy outings. Always air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and structural materials. Regularly check the laces for wear and ensure the collar remains clean of grit to prevent irritation during extended use.
