Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them for a more customized fit. If discomfort persists after an adjustment period, they may not be the right fit for your foot type.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Be aware that minimalist trail shoes may offer less specialized wet-traction compared to shoes with aggressive lug patterns.
Soles feel too thin for very rocky terrain
These are minimalist shoes designed for ground feel. For exceptionally rocky or sharp terrain, consider wearing thicker socks or a shoe with more protective features. Always exercise caution on unpredictable surfaces.
