These shoes are ideal for hiking on damp trails, walking in light rain, or navigating muddy paths without compromising foot dryness. The GORE-TEX membrane actively prevents water ingress while maintaining breathability.

Despite their trail heritage, the XT-6 GORE-TEX offers a distinctive style and comfort suitable for urban exploration, commuting, or daily errands, especially beneficial on wet city streets.
The combination of the OrthoLite® sockliner and EnergyCell™ midsole ensures sustained comfort and energy return, making them suitable for long walks, extended hikes, or prolonged periods of standing.
The Quicklace system allows for rapid donning and doffing, as well as quick adjustments during activity, such such as tightening for a descent or loosening for an ascent, ensuring a consistently secure fit.
Loosen: Pull the Quicklace toggle away from the shoe and pull the excess lace through to loosen the system.
Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is firmly seated at the back.
Tighten: Pull the Quicklace toggle towards the shoe, drawing the laces tight to achieve a snug, comfortable fit across your foot.
Secure: Tuck the excess lace and the toggle into the lace pocket located on the tongue of the shoe to prevent snagging.
These shoes are primarily designed for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor adventure. Their robust build and versatile appearance also make them suitable for everyday casual wear in urban environments, especially in variable weather conditions.
Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the textile upper and outsole. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture and maintain their shape.
GORE-TEX Care: Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or strong detergents as they can damage the GORE-TEX membrane. Occasionally, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for GORE-TEX footwear to maintain water repellency on the outer fabric.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve materials and extend their lifespan.
