Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first long hike, wear your new shoes for several short walks to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure the laces are snug but not restrictive to maintain circulation. To clean, remove excess mud with a soft-bristled brush after each hike. If the interiors become wet, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can damage the synthetic materials and adhesive bonds. Check the tread periodically for small stones or debris that may reduce traction performance.
