Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no initial setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for trail running and hiking, these shoes are compatible with various sock types. For optimal waterproofing, it's recommended to use synthetic or wool blend socks that wick moisture.
Care:
- Cleaning the Exterior: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, wipe the mesh and overlays with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Interior: If the inside gets dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe it. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Air dry them thoroughly.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials and waterproofing.
- Gore-Tex Care: The Gore-Tex membrane is durable, but avoid excessive heat which can degrade its performance over time. Regular cleaning helps maintain its waterproof and breathable properties.
