Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight after lacing.
Loosen the laces and re-lace, focusing on even pressure. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a comfortable fit that avoids pressure points.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. While designed for traction, extreme wet conditions can still reduce grip; proceed with caution.
Heel collar feels uncomfortable.
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure socks are pulled up correctly and try adjusting the lacing around the ankle to find a more comfortable setting.
Water or debris entering the shoe.
Ensure gaiters are properly attached to the integration points if experiencing persistent issues with debris. Check that laces are tied securely.
