Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the toggle lacing is adjusted securely but not so tightly that it restricts circulation, especially during high-exertion activities where feet tend to swell. Since these shoes feature a GORE-TEX membrane, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the waterproof bond. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the Cordura upper, consider periodically reapplying a specialized spray treatment once the fabric stops beading water.
