Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Rockie Walk GORE-TEX shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Maintaining Waterproofing: Regularly re-treat the leather with a suitable GORE-TEX approved waterproofing spray or conditioner to maintain its water repellency, especially after cleaning. Avoid using oil-based conditioners that might clog the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: If shoes become wet, remove any insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or machine wash these shoes as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and leather.
