What is the expected lifespan of the XT-6 trainers?

With proper care and depending on usage intensity, the XT-6 trainers are designed for durability. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions will help maximize their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Laces not tightening properly

Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged. Check for any debris or damage in the Quicklace system mechanism. Try re-threading the lace through the eyelets if it appears twisted.

Discomfort or rubbing

Verify the correct size and fit. Ensure socks are worn. Adjust the Quicklace tension for a more personalized fit. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Inspect the outsole for wear and tear. Clean any mud, dirt, or debris from the tread pattern, as this can significantly affect traction.

Materials feeling stiff

This is normal for new footwear. Continue to wear them for short periods to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape.
