Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing to find a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
The XT-600 outsole provides good grip, but reduced traction on very wet surfaces is possible. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that may hinder grip. Exercise caution in wet conditions.
Discoloration or material damage after cleaning.
Ensure cleaning is done with mild solutions and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools. Always air dry away from direct heat.
