Proper care will extend the life and performance of your shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. You can use a soft brush and lukewarm water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives. You can stuff them lightly with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or odor.
Waterproofing: Periodically re-treat the outer fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for GORE-TEX footwear to maintain water beading performance. Focus on the fabric areas, not the GORE-TEX membrane itself.
