Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. It is recommended to wear them for shorter walks initially to break them in.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for hiking, trekking, and outdoor walking. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks. While suitable for travel, their tread pattern is optimized for natural terrain rather than high-grip requirements for urban sports.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but maintaining the suede's water-repellency can be aided by occasional use of a suitable suede waterproofing spray. Ensure the spray is compatible with GORE-TEX.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
