Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit
Wear with thin socks initially or try slightly thicker socks for a snugger feel. Ensure the correct size has been purchased.
Laces coming undone
Re-tie the laces using a secure knot, or consider replacing them with grippier laces if the issue persists.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The XT-600 outsole provides good grip, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery surfaces, as with most casual footwear.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean gently according to care instructions.
