Setup
Before wearing your new Kodiak boots, ensure they are properly laced for a secure and comfortable fit. The boots come with two sets of laces, allowing for customization.

Operating (Wearing)
These boots are designed for various work and outdoor conditions. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:
- Waterproof Protection: The full-grain waterproof leather construction helps keep your feet dry in wet environments. While the boots are waterproof, avoid prolonged submersion beyond the ankle height.
- Comfort Features: The Comfortzone footbed with OrthoLite comfort foam provides cushioning and support throughout the day.
- Traction: The slip-resistant, non-marking rubber outsole offers grip on various surfaces. Exercise caution on extremely slippery or oily surfaces.

Maintenance
Proper care extends the life and performance of your Kodiak boots.
- Cleaning:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth.
- For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for waterproof leather. Follow the product instructions.
- Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources, which can damage the leather.
- Waterproofing Treatment: Periodically reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment to maintain the leather's water resistance, especially after heavy use or cleaning.
- Odor Control: Kodiak SOS (Smell Out Science) technology is integrated to help manage odors. For additional freshness, ensure boots are fully dry after use and consider using boot deodorizers.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Boots feel too tight or too loose. | Incorrect size or lacing. | Ensure proper lacing tension. If the size is incorrect, consult a sizing guide or retailer for exchange options. Note that some users have reported these boots can run wide. |
| Feet feel wet despite "waterproof" claim. | Prolonged submersion, damage to waterproof membrane, or moisture from perspiration. | Avoid deep water. Inspect boots for damage. Ensure socks are breathable and allow boots to dry completely between uses. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary. |
| Unpleasant odor. | Moisture buildup, bacterial growth. | Allow boots to air out thoroughly after each use. Remove insoles to dry separately. Use boot deodorizers or baking soda. |
| Sole wear or separation. | Normal wear and tear, manufacturing defect. | This is expected over time with heavy use. If premature, refer to warranty information. |
