Good maintenance for these shoes
It is advisable to impregnate your hiking boots with a water-repellent spray suitable for shoes with a membrane before using them for the first time. When purchasing a pair of hiking boots in our store, we will do them for you the first time.
You can nourish the nubuck leather of this Meindl Asti GTX® with a conditioner or wax. Over time, when using a waxed agent, the leather will look like smooth leather. Brushing with a nubuck brush restores the nubuck structure of the leather.
Cleaning the hiking boots
First clean your shoes with a soft brush or lukewarm water and then let them air dry. A heater or hair dryer is strongly discouraged! Also rinse the inside of your shoes once in a while. This way you remove the salt crystals from perspiration and the membrane will retain its breathable properties. Air drying is also recommended after this. If necessary, fill with kitchen paper or newspaper to aid the drying process. Always follow the instructions of your chosen maintenance product carefully.
