Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the correct size was purchased. Consider wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. Allow for a break-in period as the shoe molds to your foot.

Water is getting inside the shoe.

Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX lining. Ensure the shoes are laced properly. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX footwear.

Outsole grip seems poor.

Clean the outsole regularly to remove any mud or debris that may reduce grip. Check the outsole for excessive wear and tear.
