Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before embarking on long hikes. Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit, ensuring your heel is locked in place without excessive pressure points.
Compatibility: Designed for hiking and trail use. Compatible with most hiking socks. Not intended for extreme mountaineering or technical ice climbing.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you can apply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for GORE-TEX® footwear to maintain water repellency on the exterior fabric.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
