Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use with no extensive setup required. They are true to size and offer a standard fit, so we recommend ordering your usual shoe size. Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for a secure, comfortable fit before hitting the trail.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard hiking socks. For optimal GORE-TEX® performance, avoid thick wool socks that could impede breathability. These boots are designed for use on trails, uneven terrain, and in various weather conditions.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and the waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX® membrane is durable, but periodically inspect the boots for any signs of wear. While the boots are inherently waterproof, you can use specific waterproofing treatments for textile footwear if you notice a decrease in water repellency on the outer material over time. Always follow the product instructions for any treatments used.
