remove the footbeds and let footwear dry slowly and thoroughly in a ventilated, dry and shady place.

IMPORTANT: when using products other than the Hydrobloc® Zamberlan® treatment, it is important to remember that such products must meet the requirements imposed by GORE-TEX. In fact, silicone-based or similar treatments cannot be used as they may clog the pores of the membrane, which will impair its breathability and will also invalidate your GORE-TEX warranty. FOR FULL GRAIN LEATHER UPPER): apply Zamberlan® Hydrobloc® Conditioning Cream to the cleaned and dried upper using a soft brush to work the cream into the leather. Let the shoes rest for a few hours, then polish them.Synthetic inner lining: it doesn't require any special attention; simply use a warm, damp cloth after every use, wash and leave out to dry. The correct care of your footwear depends on the materials used to manufacture it; the main purpose of any treatment is to “nourish the leather” and enhance its water-proofing characteristics. The frequency, instead, depends on the condition and frequency of use of the footwear. We recommend lighter and more frequent applications rather than occasional and abundant. Moreover, we recommend treating your footwear before putting it away for long periods of time to prevent the leather from drying. Leather lining: these types of linings offer a special comfort, but must be treated regularly to maintain their characteristics. Sweat from the feet can in fact damage or modify the acidity. For this reason, we recommend cleaning the lining with a warm and damp cloth, then letting it dry. Finally apply a thin layer of Hydrobloc® Zamberlan® cream or spray.

Laces will normally offer a fairly long service life, but may deteriorate and break over time and for this reason they should be inspected regularly. This means taking care of the upper to prevent it from getting ruined and to extend its durability over timeIt is possible to use laces that are not produced by Zamberlan as long as they meet GORE-TEXrequirements to guarantee waterproofness. It is a sensible precaution to carry a spare set at all times, especially when walking in remote areas. They offer superb comfort, but these linings must be treated at regular intervals to maintain their characteristics, as the acidity of perspiration may damage or alter them. For this reason, you should regularly clean the leather linings with a warm damp cloth, allow to thoroughly dry, and then apply a thin coat Hydrobloc® Proofing Cream or Hydrobloc® Conditioning Spray, which will nourish the leather, keeping it soft and supple.
