Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods to gradually break them in. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the outsoles to remove any embedded debris. For persistent issues on very wet, slippery surfaces, consider the limitations of the tread pattern for such conditions.
Mud and dirt accumulation
Brush off loose dirt after each use. Use a damp cloth and mild soap for more thorough cleaning. Ensure shoes are fully dry before storing.

Care: To maintain the shoes:
- Remove loose dirt and mud with a brush or damp cloth after each use.
