Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff and uncomfortable.
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure laces are adjusted properly for a snug, but not tight, fit.
Grip seems reduced on wet surfaces.
While designed for good traction, extreme wet conditions can challenge any shoe. Ensure the shoe's sole is clean from mud or debris. For significantly wet hikes, consider additional waterproofing treatments if needed.
Soles showing signs of wear.
Normal wear and tear is expected with regular use. Inspect the tread pattern; if it has significantly worn down, it may be time to consider a replacement to maintain optimal grip and safety.
