Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. Consider wearing them for a short walk or run before a long event to break them in, although the Peregrine 16 GTX is designed for a minimal break-in period.
Compatibility: The Peregrine 16 GTX is designed for trail running and hiking. It is compatible with most standard running socks. While it can be worn on paved surfaces for short distances to and from trails, its aggressive outsole is optimized for off-road grip and may wear faster on asphalt.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For heavier soiling, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid using soap or harsh detergents, as they can damage the materials and membrane.
- Drying: Remove insoles and laces. Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials and the GORE-TEX® membrane. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
