Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider that this may not be the correct size for your foot. Loosen the Quicklace system if applicable.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris. Note that grip can vary significantly on different surfaces, especially when wet. Allow the shoes to dry thoroughly after use.
Discomfort during long walks
Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks before undertaking extended hikes. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot's arch and width. Check for any debris inside the shoe.
