FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The XT-6 is designed for breathability and performance; while they handle light moisture well, they are not strictly classified as waterproof.
Can I use these for running?
While highly capable, the XT-6 is designed primarily for hiking and outdoor lifestyle use rather than high-mileage road running.
How should I clean the cream-colored fabric?
Gently wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding aggressive scrubbing to maintain the fabric structure.
Are these true to size?
The XT-6 generally fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your foot and comparing it to the brand's size guide for the best fit.
Do these shoes need a break-in period?
Yes, many users find that the shoes become more comfortable after a few short walks as the materials conform to the unique shape of the foot.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace tension evenly across the bridge of the foot before locking the toggle in place.
Material showing surface stains
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently spot clean; avoid using harsh chemicals or washing machines.
Foot discomfort during long hikes
Ensure your socks are not too thick and check that the shoe size allows for slight foot swelling that occurs during activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your XT-6 shoes, proper care is essential. After hiking in muddy or wet conditions, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the materials. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt from the outsole after each outing. Check the laces periodically to ensure the fastening system remains secure. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning and upper fabric.
