Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-top shoes, they pair best with crew or mid-height hiking socks to protect the ankle area from trail debris. To maintain the life of your Crosspath MTE shoes, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and dirt after use. For deeper cleaning, apply a mild soap with a damp cloth, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the water-resistant coating. Ensure they air-dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, to prevent material warping.
