Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Peregrine 16 shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are true to size for most, but consider a half-size up if you prefer extra room for thicker hiking socks or long-distance swelling.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter hikes before embarking on a multi-day trip to allow the mesh to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Once dry, brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as these can break down the adhesives and technical fabrics.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the rubber compounds and mesh from degrading over time.
