Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes around the house with hiking socks to allow for a break-in period. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider trying a half-size larger if discomfort persists.
Traction seems poor on a specific surface
Clean the outsole treads to remove any mud or debris that might be impeding grip. Note that the Omni-Grip outsole is designed for a variety of terrains but may have limitations on extremely slick or icy surfaces.
Slight dampness inside the shoe after walking in wet grass
These shoes are not fully waterproof. Allow them to air dry completely. For future hikes in potentially wet conditions, consider waterproofing sprays designed for footwear or opting for a waterproof model.
