Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes require minimal setup. Simply ensure they are the correct size and fit comfortably.
Compatibility
The Meindl Philadelphia GORE-TEX shoes are designed for use in various conditions, from urban environments to low-level trails. The Comfort-Fit design is intended to accommodate a variety of foot shapes, but it’s always recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. They are compatible with standard hiking socks and can be used with aftermarket insoles if desired.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe off dirt and debris with a damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Remove the insoles to help with the drying process.
- Leather Care: Regularly apply a leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness and water resistance of the Nubuck leather.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
