Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trail trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for foot expansion during runs.
Compatibility:
- Gaiters: The integrated D-ring on the front of the shoe is designed for attaching trail running gaiters to prevent debris from entering the shoe.
- Socks: For optimal comfort and moisture management, wear moisture-wicking running socks. Consider the waterproof nature of the shoe when selecting sock thickness for warmer conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: After a run, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The Gore-Tex membrane is durable, but avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat or harsh chemicals, which can degrade its performance over time. Ensure the shoe is clean before storage to prevent mildew.
