Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your hiking shoes last, follow these guidelines for setup and maintenance:
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit across the midfoot without restricting blood flow. The 7.5 UK size is designed for an adult fit.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth and mild soap for deeper cleaning. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the synthetic materials and compromise the Climaproof membrane.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for wear and ensure the laces remain intact for maximum safety on uneven trails.
