Proper care will extend the life and performance of your XT-6 GTX shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy or dirty conditions, gently brush off loose dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. Wipe down the entire shoe with a damp cloth.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials like GORE-TEX and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your XT-6 GTX shoes, as this can compromise the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane and other materials.
