Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces can still pose challenges. Check for wear on the outsole tread.

While designed for breathability, intense activity can generate heat. Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Allow shoes to dry completely between uses.
