FAQs
Can these shoes be worn for long-distance hiking?

Yes, the Contagrip compound is designed for multi-surface traction and performs effectively on both wet and dry surfaces.

Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose or difficult to tighten
Check the lace stopper for debris and ensure the lace is threaded correctly through the eyelets; clear any grit from the locking mechanism.
Shoe becomes slippery inside when wet
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic socks rather than cotton, which holds water and causes slippage against the insole.
Odour buildup after water exposure
Wash with a mild, sports-specific shoe cleaner and ensure the insole is removed during the drying process to allow air circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Quicklace Adjustment: Ensure the lace is tucked into the designated lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging on branches or trail debris.
- Cleaning: After use in mud or saltwater, rinse the shoes with fresh, cold water. Use a soft brush to remove sediment from the Contagrip tread pattern.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and the bonding adhesive.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
