How is the waterproofing of these trainers?
The XT-6 is designed to handle severe weather conditions, offering good protection against rain and wet environments, but they are not fully waterproof. Breathability is also a key factor.
What does 'XT-6' stand for?

Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tight
Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged. Check the Quicklace™ cord for any damage or fraying that might prevent it from holding tension.
Discomfort during first wears
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Inspect the Contagrip® outsole for embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
