Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for men's adult foot sizes, specifically UK 11 in this variant. Compatible with various athletic socks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Exterior: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher grime, lightly dampen a cloth with water and gently wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Interior: If the inside of the shoe becomes wet, remove the insoles (if possible) and allow them to air dry separately. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators, fires, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's integrity, particularly the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
- GORE-TEX Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid excessive abrasion. If the waterproofing seems reduced over time, specialized cleaning products for waterproof footwear may help restore its performance.
