Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Break in the boots by wearing them for short periods indoors. Consider using thinner socks or a different insole if minor adjustments are needed.
Water seeps through the upper
The upper is water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain or submersion, these boots may not provide adequate protection. Reapply a fabric protector spray suitable for mixed materials to refresh water-repellent properties.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing grip. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not excessively smooth or wet. The tread pattern is designed for general traction; avoid extremely slick conditions.
Discoloration or marks on the upper
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the material. Test any cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
