Troubleshooting
Discomfort during initial wear
Hiking boots, especially those with supportive designs, may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase duration to allow them to conform to your foot.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the sole is designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any footwear. Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris which can impede traction.
Slight water ingress in very wet conditions
If the shoes are not explicitly rated as fully waterproof or if seams are compromised, some water penetration may occur. Allow shoes to dry completely and consider applying a waterproofing treatment suitable for suede and mesh.
