Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet
Ensure laces are tied tightly to prevent water from entering the top. Check for any punctures or excessive wear in the waterproof membrane. If the shoe has been submerged for an extended period, it may take time to dry.
Slipping or lack of traction
Clean the Vibram outsole of any packed mud or debris. Ensure you are on a surface the outsole is designed for; extreme conditions may still pose a risk.
Discomfort during initial wear
This is often due to the break-in period for leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the lacing is not too tight, which can cause pressure points.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with new ones. As these are made from recycled materials, they may have a different durability profile than traditional laces. Consider using a more robust aftermarket lace if this becomes a frequent issue.
