Using these Keen hiking boots is easy. Just lace them up using the speed hooks for a quick and secure fit. They're great for all - day hikes thanks to the arch support and cushioning. When it comes to maintenance, keep them clean by wiping off dirt and mud after each use. Let them air dry if they get wet. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the waterproof membrane and the leather. For long - term use, store them in a cool, dry place. And remember, the Cleansport NXT™ helps control odor naturally, but you can still give them a good airing out regularly.
