Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure laces are adjusted appropriately to allow for natural foot movement without being too loose or tight.
Water seeping into the boots
Check for any visible damage to the seams or membrane. Ensure laces are tied tightly. Reapply a waterproofing treatment to the exterior materials if they appear dry.
Traction seems reduced on smooth surfaces
Clean the Vibram® outsole with water and a brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering grip.
Nubuck leather appears scuffed or dirty
Use a suede brush or a clean eraser to gently remove scuffs from the nubuck leather. For deeper stains, consult a specialized leather care product suitable for nubuck.
