Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your XT-6 SHADOW trainers, start by ensuring you have the correct size, as the technical fit is meant to be snug. If you use custom orthotics, ensure they are compatible with the factory insole before long-term wear. For care, avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the materials. Instead, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
