Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the shoe is properly dried after use. Moisture can also come from sweat; check if the socks are moisture-wicking. GORE-TEX is waterproof but breathable, so intense activity can still lead to internal moisture.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the sole of any mud or debris. The grip of any shoe can be affected by wear and tear over time. Consider if the terrain is unusually slick.
Laces feel difficult to secure tightly
Ensure the Quicklace™ system is properly threaded and adjusted. Check for any knots or twists in the lace. If the lace appears worn, it may need replacement.
