Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Wading boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate wading socks.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
Verify that you have the correct outsole for the conditions. If using the natural gum rubber outsole, consider adding compatible cleats or studs for enhanced traction on very slick surfaces.
Excessive water retention.
Ensure the boot's drainage ports are clear of debris. Allow the boots to air dry thoroughly after each use, preferably upright, to facilitate complete moisture removal.
Rubber overlays peeling or separating.
This is uncommon with proper care. If minor separation occurs, ensure the area is clean and dry. For significant damage, contact customer support.
