Notes

1. Avoid prolonged wear in high-temperature conditions.
2. Do not use road running shoes for trail running.
3. Avoid contact with sharp objects.
4. It is recommended to rotate between two pairs of shoes to extend lifespan.

Cleaning & Washing

1. Prepare mild detergent, an old toothbrush or soft brush, cardboard, cloth, and stain remover (do not use strong or aggressive cleaning agents).
2. Outsole: Keep dry. Brush off mud with a stiff brush.
3. Upper: Remove laces and insoles. Brush off dust and dirt with a soft brush. Soak briefly in warm, soapy water, gently brush off remaining dirt, then rinse with clean water.
4. Insoles: Clean with mild soapy water or a baking soda solution. Rinse and air dry.
5. Laces: Rinse directly with clean water.
6. Remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry in a cool, dry place. Insoles may be placed in a well-ventilated, sunny area to dry.
   

Washing

1. Before first use and for regular cleaning, wash with clean water and a mild soap or detergent. Do not use bleach.
2. Clean with mild soap or detergent only. Do not rinse with bleach.
3. Gently brush with a soft-bristle brush to avoid damaging the waterproof coating.
4. Use a mild or slightly acidic detergent and rinse thoroughly to minimize chemical residue.
5. Do not soak for extended periods, as prolonged immersion may reduce waterproof performance.
6. After washing, air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the waterproof layer.
7. Spot clean with a damp cloth as needed.

1. After use, promptly remove sand and debris from inside the shoes to reduce wear on waterproof materials. Calfskin leather linings and uppers should be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not scrub aggressively with brushes.
2. GORE-TEX linings should be cleaned with water only. Do not use soap.
3. Footwear made with IDRO-PERW, ANFIBIO, nubuck, or suede must not be treated with oil-based products, as this may reduce lifespan and waterproof performance. Leather footwear requires regular waxing. Do not apply heat during waxing. Shoes made with CORDURA should only be maintained with appropriate care products.
4. Water-based care products (e.g., NIKWAX) are recommended. Do not apply products in freezing conditions.
5. Avoid contact with sharp objects and chemicals. For long-term storage, loosen the laces. If the lining is damp, stuff shoes with newspaper and allow them to air dry in a shaded area.

1. Gently machine wash or hand wash in water below 40°C using a mild detergent. For fleece hats, turn inside out before washing to prevent pilling.
2. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

Summary: Washing and tumble drying help reactivate the Durable Water

Washing

1. Check the care label inside the apparel and follow any specific instructions.
2. Before washing, zip all zippers, fasten hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures, and loosen drawcords. It is recommended to wash separately or place the apparel in a laundry bag. Use a mild liquid detergent only. Do not use powder detergents, fabric softeners, stain removers, or products containing bleach.

4. Hang to air dry or tumble dry on a gentle, medium-heat setting.

Reactivating the DWR Finish

If water repellency does not fully return after washing and drying, follow these steps:

1. Tumble dry on low heat and low speed for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR finish.
2. If performance is still not restored, apply a spray-on water-repellent treatment, then tumble dry again to activate the repellent.
   

Washing

1. Machine washable on a wool or gentle cycle at temperatures ≤ 40°C. Wash separately from hard items. Laundry balls are not recommended.
