Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is clean and free of debris. For optimal performance, avoid prolonged use on extremely slippery surfaces without caution.
Discomfort during wear
Verify the correct sizing. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. The ProFly™ midsole is designed for responsive cushioning; allow a short break-in period if needed.
Transparent upper appears discolored or dirty
Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
