Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Adjust lacing to accommodate foot width and provide a secure, comfortable fit. Consider if socks are too thick or thin.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While lugs provide grip, very slick surfaces like wet rocks or mud can still be challenging. Clean the lugs of any packed debris to maximize their effectiveness. Be cautious and adjust pace on extremely slippery terrain.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period for the shoes to mold to your feet. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure the internal cushioning is providing support rather than pressure points.
