Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are hiking shoes with a structured leather build, it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking hiking socks during the initial break-in phase to prevent hot spots. To maintain the waterproof capabilities, ensure the exterior leather is kept clean of heavy mud or caustic residues. Regularly wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather conditioner to prevent the material from cracking over time. Avoid drying the shoes near direct high-heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and the leather's natural integrity.
