Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather hiking shoes, proper initial care will extend their lifespan significantly. Before the first use, consider applying a leather conditioner or a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to maintain the material's integrity. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the type of socks you intend to use on the trail, as the internal bootie provides a snug, secure wrap around the foot. To clean, wipe away surface mud with a soft brush and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack and compromise the waterproof bootie.
