Use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid machine washing.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Wear socks appropriate for the weather conditions. For cold weather, thicker socks are recommended to enhance warmth.

Yes, they are designed for cold and wet conditions, including light to moderate snow. However, they are not designed for extreme winter conditions.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Check the lacing and adjust for a better fit. Consider wearing thinner socks or consulting the size chart for potential sizing issues.
Water is getting inside the shoes.
Ensure the laces are properly tightened and consider applying a waterproofing spray to the uppers.
Outsole grip is not sufficient on icy surfaces.
Walk carefully on icy surfaces. The All-Trac™ outsole provides good grip but cannot guarantee complete traction in all conditions.
