Cleaning:
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth after each use.
For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the mesh and synthetic overlays.
Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage materials, especially the GORE-TEX membrane.
Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry.
Drying:
Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
Avoid direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight, blow dryers), as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
GORE-TEX Care: The GORE-TEX membrane requires no special treatment beyond general cleaning. Avoid punctures or harsh chemicals that could compromise its waterproof integrity.
