Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Peregrine 16 GTX is ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It's recommended to wear them for a short period indoors to break them in before a long excursion.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for outdoor trail activities and is compatible with most standard hiking socks. It is not intended for use with specialized electronic devices or specific sports equipment beyond its trail focus.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as they can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While Gore-Tex is durable, avoid abrasive cleaners. For extended waterproofing, consider using a specialized spray treatment designed for waterproof footwear, following the product's instructions.
