Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Merrell Moab 3 Synthetic GORE-TEX® is designed for immediate use. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tightness for a secure fit.
Compatibility: These boots are compatible with most standard hiking socks. For optimal performance in wet conditions, consider moisture-wicking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use cool water and a mild soap.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as this can damage the materials and the waterproof membrane. Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but periodically applying a waterproofing spray specifically designed for waterproof-breathable footwear can help maintain performance. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
