Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Lakewood Ii hiking shoes, start by adjusting the lace-up system to achieve a secure but non-constricting fit across the midfoot. These shoes are sized for standard adult male fit, though wearing appropriate moisture-wicking wool or synthetic hiking socks is recommended to enhance the moisture management of the waterproof membrane. After muddy outings, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature—avoid placing them near radiators or direct heat sources as this can cause the leather to crack. Regularly wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and consider applying a leather-safe waterproof treatment if the outer water-repellent coating begins to fade after heavy usage.
