Using these Keen 450 Dirt Hiking Shoes is straightforward. Just lace them up and start your hike. They're designed to give you a comfortable and stable walk on different terrains. When it comes to maintenance, you can clean the shoes with a soft brush and mild soap. Let them air dry. Avoid putting them in the dryer as it may damage the materials. Also, check the laces regularly and replace them if they're worn out. For long - term use, store the shoes in a cool, dry place. And don't forget, the Eco Anti - Odor feature helps keep the shoes fresh, but if you notice any strong smell, you can take out the removable insole and let it air out separately.
