Setup, Compatibility & Care
These hiking shoes are ready to wear out of the box with no specific setup required. They are designed for compatibility with standard hiking socks. To ensure longevity and optimal performance:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane and the PFC-free water repellency treatment help keep feet dry. Regularly check for any signs of wear that might compromise the waterproof barrier. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment for nubuck leather if needed, ensuring compatibility with GORE-TEX.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
