Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, begin by ensuring a proper fit; there should be roughly a half-inch of space between your toes and the front of the shoe. These shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; for maximum moisture management, consider synthetic or merino wool blends rather than cotton. After each use, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can compromise the integrity of the adhesive and the waterproof membrane. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove caked-on mud and grit, which can degrade the outer materials over time.
