Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes perform optimally, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The XT-4 is a performance shoe; ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front for comfort.
- Lacing: Tuck the excess cord from the speed lacing system into the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use. If they become very muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material aging.
