Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your XT-6 EXPANSE sneakers:
Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and synthetic upper, use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, gently wiping the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Outsole: The Mud Contagrip® outsole can be cleaned with a brush and water to remove mud and debris, ensuring optimal traction.
Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as these can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Avoid Submerging: While durable, the sneakers are not fully waterproof unless otherwise specified. Avoid prolonged submersion in water.
Protective Sprays: Consider using a shoe protector spray designed for textile and synthetic materials to help repel water and stains, particularly if you frequently wear them outdoors.
