What does 'XLT' stand for?
While not explicitly defined in the product information, 'XLT' often implies an 'extra-large' or enhanced version, suggesting reinforced construction or added features for durability and comfort in the Rowley series.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if break-in is needed.
Soles losing grip
Clean the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be reducing traction. If the sole is heavily worn, replacement may be necessary.
Discoloration or staining on the khaki upper
Attempt spot cleaning with mild soap and water or a specialized shoe cleaner. For persistent stains, consult shoe care guides for light-colored footwear.
