Troubleshooting
Felt sole detaches prematurely.
Ensure the boot sole and replacement felt sole are properly cleaned before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality waterproof adhesive and allow sufficient curing time.
Poor grip after installation.
Make sure the felt is not worn out. Check that the adhesive is applied evenly and the sole is securely attached. If the felt is new, make sure it is wet before use.
