Troubleshooting
QUICKLACE™ system is difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are not tangled. If they are stiff, try gently working the toggle back and forth. Check the lace garage for debris.
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the QUICKLACE™ system for a more personalized fit. Ensure the ENDOFIT™ System is providing adequate midfoot support. Consider the thickness of your socks.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While CONTAGRIP® offers excellent traction, performance can be affected by extreme conditions. Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be reducing contact.
Upper material feels too breathable for cold weather
Consider wearing warmer socks or using an insulating insole for added warmth during colder conditions.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the mesh and TPU. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Insoles: The OrthoLite® insole can typically be removed for airing out or gentle hand washing with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
