Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole is clean. Persistent issues may indicate wear on the lugs, suggesting it's time for a replacement.
Discomfort on long runs
Verify the shoe size and fit. Consider if a different lacing technique could improve comfort or if the shoe's cushioning level is appropriate for your running style and terrain.
Debris entering the shoe
Utilize the D-ring to attach compatible gaiters. Ensure laces are tied securely to minimize gaps.
Upper material feels restrictive
The technical mesh is designed for durability and protection; it may require a short break-in period. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can exacerbate restriction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The D-ring on the front allows for easy attachment of compatible gaiters.
Compatibility:
- Gaiters: Compatible with most standard trail running gaiters that attach via a D-ring system.
- Socks: Recommended to wear with moisture-wicking trail running socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to degrade. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape while drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
