Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose.

Try tightening the laces or consider a smaller size.

Poor grip on wet surfaces.

Ensure the lugs are clean. Consider alternative footwear for very wet or icy conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Sizing: Ensure you select the correct size, considering the generous fit. If you're between sizes, consider sizing down for a more snug fit or staying true to size for added comfort.
  2. Lacing: Use the traditional lacing system to secure the shoe comfortably around your foot.
  3. Break-In Period: Allow for a short break-in period to allow the shoe to mold to your foot shape and provide a more personalized fit.
  4. Cleaning: After use, remove any excess dirt and debris with a brush or cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Washing: Wash with cold water and mild soap when necessary. Avoid machine washing to preserve the shoe's materials and structure. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
  6. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  7. Compatibility: Suitable for use with various types of socks, but consider moisture-wicking socks for optimal comfort and performance.
