Troubleshooting
BOA dial is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the laces are not caught or bunched. Try cleaning around the dial mechanism with a small brush. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Shoes feel too tight after adjustment
Pull the BOA dial up to release the tension and readjust to a looser setting. Ensure you are not overtightening.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
The Vibram outsole offers good grip, but performance may be reduced on extremely slick or wet surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that can affect traction.
Discomfort during initial wear
This is common for new users of minimalist footwear. Gradually increase wear time and distance to allow your feet to adapt. Consider wearing them for short periods initially.
