Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner or thicker socks to adjust the fit. Break the shoes in with short walks before long hikes.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces
Clean the outsoles of any debris. Wet conditions can reduce traction on any shoe; adjust your pace accordingly. Ensure the shoe's tread is not excessively worn.
Cushioning feels excessive for short walks
The cushioning is optimized for longer distances and impact absorption. For very short, flat walks, the feel might be different than expected, but it provides benefits on varied terrain.
