How to use: Just put on these boots like you would with any other pair. Tie the laces properly to ensure a snug fit, and you're ready to hit the trails. These boots are great for various outdoor activities like hiking, walking on uneven paths, etc. Attention: Avoid using these boots in extremely harsh environments where they might get severely damaged. Also, don't expose them to sharp objects that could cut the GORE - TEX membrane. Maintenance: After each use, clean off any dirt or mud with a soft brush or cloth. Let them dry naturally in a well - ventilated area, away from direct heat sources. If the laces get dirty, you can remove them and wash them separately. Periodically, apply a suitable waterproofing treatment to keep the GORE - TEX membrane working effectively.
