Troubleshooting

Slipping on wet surfaces

Ensure the All Terrain Contagrip outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. For extreme wet conditions, proceed with caution as no tread is completely slip-proof.

Discomfort or hot spots

Check the lacing for tightness and evenness. Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break-in period might be necessary for new shoes. Consider wearing appropriate hiking socks.

Reduced grip over time

The All Terrain Contagrip is designed for durability, but grip can naturally diminish with extensive wear. Inspect the tread for significant wear patterns. Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal grip.

Water ingress (non-waterproof models)

These models are not designed for full waterproofing. For wet conditions, consider applying a water-repellent spray suitable for footwear materials. Always allow shoes to dry thoroughly after getting wet.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for trail running and hiking. They are compatible with most types of outdoor terrain, including dirt, mud, gravel, and rock. Not designed for specialized sports requiring specific cleat systems.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth or sponge with cool water and mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry. Stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb excess moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. This helps maintain the integrity of the materials and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
