Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after wearing in wet conditions
Check if laces are tied too tightly, restricting breathability. Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is not compromised by damage. Allow shoes to dry completely after use.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing
Adjust the lace tightness. Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the issue persists, consider using thicker socks or replacing the insoles with orthotics.
Traction seems reduced on slippery surfaces
Clean the PU sole to remove any embedded dirt or debris. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. For very slick conditions, consider additional traction aids if needed.
Difficulty putting on due to wide fit
Loosen the laces considerably before attempting to put the shoe on. Utilize the heel tab to assist in pulling them on.
