How to use: Put on the boots like you would any other pair of shoes. Make sure the laces are adjusted properly for a snug fit. This will give you the best comfort and support during your hikes. Notice: Avoid wearing these boots in extremely harsh environments that they're not designed for, like deep mud or very rocky areas for long periods. If you're walking in wet conditions, the gore - tex lining will keep your feet dry, but don't submerge the boots for too long. Maintenance: After each use, clean the boots with a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Let them dry naturally away from direct heat. Occasionally, apply a leather conditioner to the suede upper to keep it in good condition. Check the laces regularly and replace them if they show signs of wear.
