Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Gore-Tex shoes:
Cleaning:
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth.
For tougher stains, use a mild soap (like dish soap) and warm water. Gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth.
Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can damage the Gore-Tex membrane and outer materials.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean, cool water to remove all soap residue.
Drying:
Air dry completely at room temperature.
Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, hairdryers, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
You can stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape during drying.
Water Repellency (DWR): While the Gore-Tex membrane is waterproof, the outer fabric has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating that can wear off over time. If water no longer beads up on the surface, consider applying a DWR-restoring spray suitable for Gore-Tex footwear.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
