Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX membrane

Ensure the laces are tied correctly to prevent water ingress from the top. Check if the waterproofing is compromised; if so, the membrane may need cleaning or replacement.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Clean the Gravel Contagrip outsole to remove embedded debris. Check the lug depth and condition; worn lugs may reduce traction.

Discomfort or rubbing

Adjust the traditional lacing system for a better fit, ensuring the SensiFIT technology is properly secured. Consider using the included OrthoLite sockliner for additional cushioning.

Shoes feel stiff

Allow the shoes time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially to let the materials adapt to your foot shape.
