Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Cloudhorizon 2 shoes last throughout the hiking season, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are designed for a performance fit. Ensure you have roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long hikes.
- Break-in: Wear your shoes on shorter, local walks before attempting long-distance or multi-day expeditions to allow the upper materials to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose debris after every hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap solution. Never machine wash the shoes or place them in a tumble dryer, as heat can damage the bonding agents.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam.
