Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a durable pair of similar length and material. Consider waxed laces for better grip and longevity.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The compound's effectiveness can be diminished when excessively dirty.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust lacing for a more personalized fit. If discomfort persists, ensure the correct size is being worn. The removable insole can be replaced with an orthotic for added support.
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Apply a suede protector to prevent future marks.
