Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the tension by gently pulling or releasing the Quicklace toggle. Ensure the excess lace is securely tucked into the lace pocket to prevent slippage.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the Contagrip outsole is clean from mud or debris. The unique lug pattern is designed for varied terrains, but extreme conditions may require specific footwear. Check for wear and tear on the outsole.
Debris entering the shoe
Confirm that the tongue and lacing system are properly aligned to create a snug fit around the ankle. Ensure the anti-debris mesh is intact and not torn.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking to prevent friction.
