Troubleshooting
Water seeping into shoes
Ensure laces are fully tightened and GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check for any visible damage to the shoe material or seams. Clean the exterior to remove dirt that might impede waterproofing.
Slipping during activities
Verify that the outsole is clean of mud or debris. Ensure the shoes are laced tightly enough to secure your foot. Consider the terrain; on extremely slick surfaces, even aggressive treads have limits.
Discomfort or rubbing
Allow for a break-in period. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit, avoiding over-tightening in pressure areas.
