Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrex Skychaser AX5 shoes, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the shoes are worn with the type of socks you intend to use for hiking to verify proper volume and heel lockdown.
- Cleaning: After each hike, remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes are muddy, rinse them with lukewarm water and allow them to air dry at room temperature.
- Avoid Direct Heat: Never dry your shoes directly in front of a heater or in a clothes dryer, as extreme heat can damage the Gore-Tex membrane and the integrity of the adhesive bond.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Re-proofing: Periodically check the exterior; if water stops beading on the surface, you may apply a spray-on treatment designed specifically for Gore-Tex footwear to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
