Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure regular conditioning.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The Vibram outsole offers excellent grip, but extreme conditions can reduce traction. Clean the soles to remove debris. For very slick surfaces, exercise caution.
Water seeping through despite waterproof membrane
Check for damage to the leather or stitching. Reapply a waterproofing treatment to the exterior. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust lacing to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consider the original sizing or explore other Rockport models.
