Tips

To maximise the lifespan of your TX5 Evo Mid GTX boots, clean them after each outing with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat, and periodically apply a nubuck-specific conditioner to maintain the leather's water repellency. For a precise fit, wear the socks you plan to use on the trail when trying them on, and consider a short break-in period before long treks.
