Troubleshooting
Foot fatigue after long hikes.
Ensure the correct size is being used. Consider using thicker hiking socks or trying aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning and support.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole treads to remove debris that may be hindering grip. While designed for traction, extreme wet conditions may still pose a challenge; adjust your pace accordingly.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
This is normal for new hiking shoes. Wear them for shorter walks and gradually increase the distance to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe.
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks. Allow the shoes to air dry completely after each use, and consider using foot powder if excessive sweating is an issue.
