Full details

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if break-in time is needed.
Reduced waterproofing after use
Clean the shoes thoroughly as per care instructions. Ensure no debris is blocking the GORE-TEX membrane. Consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for GORE-TEX footwear.
Slipping on certain surfaces
Ensure the Continental Rubber outsole is clean from mud or debris. For specific slick surfaces, tread carefully and consider that no outsole provides universal grip under all conditions.
Discomfort during long hikes
Ensure laces are tied correctly for support. If discomfort persists, the midsole drop might not suit your gait. Consider trying them on for longer periods before extensive use.

Care:
