Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure across the foot. Consider wearing them with thinner socks if the issue persists.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Continental Rubber outsole is clean of mud and debris, as this can impede traction. For extremely slick conditions, proceed with caution.
Discomfort during long hikes
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for support without constricting circulation. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before undertaking long distances.
