Troubleshooting
Discomfort during initial wear
This can be normal due to the zero-drop and natural foot shape. Gradually increase wear time to allow your feet and body to adapt. Consider wearing thinner socks initially.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the aggressive sole offers good traction, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a risk. Ensure your gait is balanced and avoid sudden movements on hazardous terrain.
Boots feel too wide or narrow
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Wrapt Mid is designed for a natural foot shape, which may differ from traditional shoe fits. Try with different sock thicknesses.
