These shoes are designed for active adults. They pair well with performance hiking socks, which provide cushioning and moisture management. They are compatible with various outdoor conditions, from dry trails to moderately wet environments. Their green color and versatile design make them suitable for a wide range of outdoor apparel.
Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or crack. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or odor.
Waterproofing: While built with a waterproof membrane, periodic application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for outdoor footwear can help maintain the outer fabric's water repellency.
