Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique for a snug but comfortable fit. If the fit remains an issue, consider if the size is appropriate or try a different lacing pattern.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The XT-600 rubber outsole provides good grip, but very smooth or wet surfaces can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that might hinder traction.
Discomfort during extended wear
While designed for comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly. If persistent discomfort occurs, the shoe may not be the ideal fit for your specific foot structure or intended activity.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials.

- Socks: For optimal comfort and to prevent potential friction, wearing appropriate socks is recommended.
