Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Sonoma 8 GTX trainers, start by ensuring a proper fit; because of the GORE-TEX liner, the shoe may feel slightly more structured, so ensure your toes have adequate room. For care, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the waterproof membrane. Instead, wipe away mud with a damp cloth after each use and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. To maintain the effectiveness of the GORE-TEX, ensure that the exterior fabric remains clean of dirt and salt build-up.
