Troubleshooting
Toggles not holding lace tension
Ensure the lace is threaded correctly through the toggle mechanism. If the toggle feels worn, it may need replacement.
Water ingress despite Gore-Tex
Check for damage to the Gore-Tex membrane or excessive wear. Ensure the tongue and laces are properly secured to prevent water entering from the top. Consider reapplying DWR treatment.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Clean the soles to remove any mud or debris that might be reducing grip. For extremely smooth or wet surfaces, extra caution may be required as no sole is universally slip-proof.
Heel loop feels loose or damaged
Inspect the stitching holding the heel loop. If it's a minor issue, it might be repairable by a cobbler. For significant damage, contact customer support.
