Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay tight
Ensure the Quicklace toggle is fully engaged and pushed down. Check the lace material for excessive wear; replace if necessary.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify the shoe size is correct and ensure socks are appropriate. The shoe may require a short break-in period. Adjust the Quicklace tension for a more personalized fit.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any embedded mud or debris. While the Contagrip® is excellent, extreme conditions may still pose challenges. Ensure the shoe is not worn out.
