Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of hiking socks. Break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The rubber sole provides grip, but performance can vary on extremely slick surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris. Consider trail conditions and your hiking pace.
Water ingress during wet conditions
These shoes are designed for general hiking and may not be fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider using waterproof socks or applying a water-repellent treatment (ensure compatibility with textile materials).
