Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff on first wear
This is normal for high-quality natural rubber. Wear them for short periods initially and they will become more flexible with use.
Water seeping into the boot
Check the integrity of the gusset and strap closure. Ensure the boot shaft is fully inserted and the gusset is properly aligned and secured. If leakage persists, inspect for any punctures or tears in the rubber.
Discomfort around the calf
Utilize the adjustable strap to loosen the fit around the calf. Ensure you have selected the correct boot size, as an improper fit can cause discomfort.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
While the bi-density sole offers excellent grip on varied terrain, very smooth or polished surfaces may reduce traction. Exercise caution in such environments.
