Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Mt. Maddsen 2.0 boots, follow these guidelines:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug but not constricting. Use the reinforced tongue to center the fit before tightening.
- Break-in: Wear them for short walks on flat surfaces before embarking on long, steep trails to allow the leather to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose mud or grit with a soft brush after every hike. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior.
- Leather Care: Periodically apply a leather conditioner or waterproof treatment designed for hiking boots to prevent the leather from cracking and to maintain its hydrophobic properties.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or campfires, which can degrade the leather and the waterproof membrane.
