Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly tight, try wearing them with thinner socks or allow a short break-in period. Consult the sizing chart if unsure.

Traction feels insufficient

Ensure the XT-600 rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the shoes are significantly worn, the grip may be reduced.

Discoloration or staining

Follow the care instructions for cleaning with a mild soap and water solution. Test any cleaning agent on an inconspicuous area first.
