Meindl Kapstadt GTX Hiking Boot – What is Gore-Tex?

GORE-TEX® membrane combines durable waterproofness and optimized breathability, offering enduring waterproof protection and optimized climate comfort. This means that water stays on the outside while perspiration can easily escape from the inside. Thanks to their innovative construction they are an ideal solution for the widest range of outdoor activities and changing weather conditions. 

Aftercare:

Cleaning

• Remove footbeds to dry. If waxing your boots, remove the laces as well.
• Remove loose dirt and stones from both boot and sole under running water using a brush
• Never dry footwear near a source of direct heat, e.g. sunlight, radiators or stoves. Wet leather is very sensitive to heat and can become brittle, hard and cracked.

• Use Meindl Sportwax each time you clean your boots
• Every third time, spray with Meindl Wetproof before using Meindl Sportwax
• The Meindl Wetproof will improve the water resistance of the leather
• Remember to treat soft areas such as the tongue and cuff

Nubuck leather boots and shoes (Symbol II)
