Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness in the toe area during long hikes
Adjust your lacing pattern to be looser across the bridge of the foot, which allows more room for natural foot swelling.
Reduced traction in muddy conditions
Ensure the grooves of the rubber outsole are clear of packed mud or debris by rinsing with water and scrubbing with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Tektrel hiking shoes, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the initial break-in, wear the shoes for shorter walks to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. If the shoes become muddy, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the rubber and synthetic materials. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried debris from the outsole tread to maintain optimal grip. Store the shoes in a cool, dry area to prevent material breakdown.
