Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Blake boots, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the boots around your house or on short walks before attempting long-distance treks to allow the material to mold to your feet.
- Sizing: Use a hiking sock of the thickness you intend to wear while hiking to check for proper fit. There should be enough room to wiggle your toes without excessive heel lift.
- Cleaning: Remove dried mud with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe the surface. Do not submerge the boots in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the lacing hooks and eyelets for signs of wear and ensure the outsoles are clear of compacted stones.
