Ensure the shoe's tongue is properly aligned and the laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Consider if the water exposure exceeded the membrane's capabilities (e.g., prolonged submersion).
The lug pattern is designed for versatility; on extremely slick surfaces like wet polished concrete or ice, specialized footwear might offer better grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris that could impede traction.
The improved fit may require a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose. If discomfort persists, consult the retailer or HOKA customer support.
The foam may compress slightly with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain its integrity. If significant loss of cushioning occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.
