Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tight
Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged. Check the Quicklace cord for any fraying or damage that might prevent it from holding tension.
Discomfort after initial wear
The XT-6 may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot's anatomy.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsoles thoroughly to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Inspect the tread for excessive wear.
