Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Using thicker socks during initial wear can also help stretch them gently.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the XT-600 outsole provides good grip, reduced traction on very wet surfaces is possible. Exercise caution when walking on slick or wet ground.
Discoloration from cleaning products
Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Use only mild soap and water for cleaning and avoid harsh chemicals.
