FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The XT-6 Expanse has trail running heritage and is designed for performance, offering good grip and cushioning. They can be used for running, especially on trails, but they are also optimized for versatility and daily wear.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart for UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the provided dimensions. Trying them on in person is the best way to ensure a perfect fit.
What is the main difference between XT-6 and XT-6 Expanse?
The XT-6 Expanse specifically focuses on bringing outdoor attitude and trail-inspired features into everyday life, emphasizing versatility for both urban and light trail use. While sharing core technologies, the Expanse variant is tuned more towards daily wearability.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand cleaning with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What is the drop of these trainers?
The XT-6 Expanse trainers have a drop value of 10 mm.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The XT-6 Expanse is designed with anti-debris mesh and water-resistant materials, but it is not fully waterproof. They offer protection against light moisture but are not intended for submersion or heavy rain.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from a combination of synthetic materials and textiles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The XT-6 Expanse may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the materials soften and conform to your foot.
Laces come undone easily
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Double-knotting may be necessary for very active use or if laces are particularly slippery.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
While the Mud contaGRIP outsole is designed for grip, ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris, as this can impact performance. Always exercise caution on extremely slick surfaces.
Debris getting into the shoe
The anti-debris mesh helps, but for very fine or loose terrain, ensure the lacing is snug and consider using gaiters if extensive off-trail use is planned.
