Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes require no specific setup beyond adjusting the laces to your preferred fit using the integrated Gillie lacing system.
Compatibility:
While designed as a lifestyle shoe, the robust construction and secure lacing offer compatibility with casual wear and light outdoor activities. They are not intended for intense athletic performance.
Care:
- Upper: Gently clean the mesh and Durabuck with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent material damage. For stubborn dirt on Durabuck, a specialized nubuck cleaner might be necessary.
- Suede/Nubuck: Use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and marks. For stains, consult specialized suede cleaning guides.
- Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Laces: The woven straps and laces can be cleaned with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, they can be removed and hand-washed with mild detergent, then air-dried.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe tree or original box to maintain shape and protect from dust.
