Using these Oboz men's hikers is easy. Just lace them up and you're ready to hit the trails, whether they're wet or dry. When it comes to maintenance, after a muddy hike, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. Then, use a soft brush to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the waterproof membranes and other materials. Also, make sure to tie the laces properly to ensure a good fit and support. Remember, Oboz plants a tree for every pair of shoes sold, so you're not only getting a great product but also contributing to a greener planet.
