Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes utilize a high-quality leather upper, it is recommended to apply a leather conditioner or water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather hiking gear to maintain the material's integrity. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to allow for natural foot swelling during long hikes. To clean, wipe away surface mud with a damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, which can cause the leather to stiffen or crack. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the waterproof bootie's efficacy.
