Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a secure fit. Adjust the laces for personalized comfort, ensuring the heel counter provides a snug fit without excessive pressure. The dual heel and tongue loops can be used to assist in pulling the boots on.
Compatibility: Designed for female adult foot sizes, available in UK sizes 4-8, including half sizes. They are suitable for use with most standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but periodic cleaning helps maintain its performance. For long-term care, consider using a waterproof-specific re-proofer as recommended by Merrell or GORE-TEX after significant wear.
