Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hurricane 26 GTX, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short, 30-minute walks before transitioning to full-distance runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after wet runs. If the interior gets wet, remove the sockliner and stuff the shoe with newspaper to absorb moisture; avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the foam and membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the GORE-TEX waterproof barrier.
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the toe box for optimal comfort during long-distance training.
