FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides a reliable waterproof barrier against rain and moisture.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically trail shoes, their construction is durable enough for road use, though the outsole is specifically optimized for off-road traction.
How do I store the speed laces?
There is a small pocket located on the tongue of the shoe designed specifically to stow the loose end of the speed lace.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
They generally run true to size, but the technical fit is more structured than standard lifestyle sneakers.
Are these suitable for winter wear?
The water-resistant materials provide good protection for wet conditions, though they are not insulated for extreme cold.
What is the best way to clean the GORE-TEX upper?
Wipe the surface with a damp sponge or soft cloth using mild, non-detergent soap, then allow them to air dry naturally.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace tension by sliding the speed-lace toggle up or down before tightening.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure the tongue is properly centered and the collar fits snugly around the ankle; avoid walking in deep mud without gaiters.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove caked-on dirt or mud that may be blocking the tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes perform optimally, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The XT-4 is a performance shoe; ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front for comfort.
- Lacing: Tuck the excess cord from the speed lacing system into the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use. If they become very muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material aging.
