Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, break the shoes in on shorter, flatter trails before attempting long, steep hikes.
Compatibility: The Torrent 4 is a neutral trail shoe; if you use custom orthotics, ensure they are compatible with the existing sockliner.
Care Instructions:
- After muddy excursions, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the midsole.
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt from the lugs to maintain traction.
- Remove the sockliner if it becomes saturated to speed up the drying process.
- Avoid machine washing or drying, as these can compromise the adhesives and cushioning properties.
