Getting started with your Cloudhorizon Waterproof shoes is straightforward:
Lace Up Securely: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The padded collar is designed to provide a locked-in feel, preventing heel slippage without excessive pressure.
Wear Appropriate Socks: Opt for moisture-wicking socks to maximize comfort and manage any internal moisture, especially during strenuous activity.
These trainers are specifically tailored for men and designed for a variety of outdoor activities:
Terrain: Best suited for trails, varied natural surfaces, and wet urban environments. The Missiongrip outsole offers excellent stability on unpredictable terrain.
Weather: Ideal for wet conditions, light rain, and damp environments where waterproof protection is essential. While waterproof, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold or snow.
Activities: Perfect for trail running, hiking, walking, and general outdoor exploration where comfort, protection, and traction are key.
Proper care will extend the lifespan of your Cloudhorizon Waterproof shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy trails, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can use shoe trees or stuff them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
Waterproofing Maintenance: While they feature a waterproof membrane, regular cleaning and occasional application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for footwear can help maintain the outer material's water repellency.
