Its Vibram TC5+ outsole provides reliable traction on diverse surfaces including dirt, gravel, and some wet rocks. Ideal for day hiking, speed hiking, and casual outdoor activities.
Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Do not machine wash.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Laces: Periodically check laces and replace if they show signs of fraying or wear. The recycled laces are durable but regular inspection helps maintain a secure fit.
