Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box with no specific setup required. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. To care for your Peregrine 16 GTX trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the GORE-TEX® membrane and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX® is durable, avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could compromise the membrane. For extended waterproofing, consider using a specialized footwear waterproofing spray designed for technical outdoor gear.
