There are numerous myths associated with the correct and necessary care of hiking boots. Here we've put together a summary of what's really important and what are the common mistakes.
Well-being for shoes
How do you properly care for your LOWA footwear?
The right way to care for your footwear
Good care keeps the shoes comfortable and water-repellent for a long time. The following instructions are designed for all LOWA models made of full grain, nubuck and full grain leather. To ensure that the leather remains usable and you can enjoy quality footwear for years to come, you need to take care of it regularly. New footwear doesn't require any extra care before you wear it for the first time, but it does benefit from regular leather treatments.
1. Preparation
2. Cleaning
3. Waterproofing
4. Treatment
5. Storage
GORE-TEX SHOES MUST ALSO BE TAKEN CARE OF
A big myth is that GORE-TEX shoes do not need maintenance. The waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane is located inside the shoe, so it has nothing to do with the external treatment of leather or synthetic material. This means: even a GORE-TEX shoe needs to be cleaned, maintained and waterproofed regularly according to what the upper material requires. And the GORE-TEX lining is also grateful for a light wash with shoe cleaner and a soft brush.
