Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe.
Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If the membrane is compromised, the shoe may no longer be waterproof. Consider applying a waterproof treatment to the exterior of the shoe.
Laces constantly coming undone.
Ensure the laces are properly tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing the laces if they are worn or frayed. Try double knotting the laces.
