Using these Keen 450 Dirt Hiking Shoes is easy. Just lace them up and start your hiking adventure. When putting them on, make sure the laces are adjusted to your comfort. For best results, use them on various terrains as they are designed for all - terrain use. When it comes to maintenance, clean them regularly with a soft brush and mild soap to keep the upper and outsole in good condition. Let them air dry, away from direct heat. Don't machine - wash or bleach them. Also, store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. If you notice the odor control is not as effective over time, you can replace the removable insole. These shoes are built to last, but taking proper care will ensure they serve you well for many hikes.
