Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before heading out on your first adventure. Proper lacing is key for optimal performance and support; adjust tightness as needed for different terrains.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for hiking and trail running, they are also suitable for walking, travel, and as noted, even golf. They are compatible with most hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically, consider using a waterproofing treatment suitable for technical footwear to maintain performance.
