Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes utilize a suede exterior, avoid submerging them in deep water for extended periods despite the waterproof Gore-Tex membrane. To maintain the appearance, gently brush the suede with a dedicated soft-bristled brush after each outing to remove loose dirt. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. Ensure you check for a proper fit before heavy use, as the suede may require a short breaking-in period compared to lighter, synthetic materials.
