Troubleshooting
Boots feel uncomfortable or stiff.
Allow time for break-in; wear the boots around the house and on short walks to soften the leather.
Traction seems reduced.
Clean the felt sole to remove debris that can reduce grip. If the felt is worn, consider replacing or re-soling the boots.
Water is leaking into the boots.
Check for any damage to the boot's upper. Ensure the boots are properly sealed with waders. Inspect the seams and leather for cracks or wear.
Boots are developing mold.
