Troubleshooting

Laces feel difficult to tighten or loosen

Ensure the lacing system is clear of debris. Try adjusting the laces in smaller increments, focusing on even pressure.

Traction feels less secure on wet surfaces

The SURFACE CTRLTM outsole is optimized for versatility. For very slick or wet conditions, exercise caution and consider dedicated wet-weather footwear.

Foot discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape, not too tight or too loose.
