FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, the XT-6 GTX is engineered with advanced technical features for outdoor performance. They can be worn casually, but their full benefit is realized in more demanding environments.
How do I adjust the Quicklace™ system?
Pull the laces upwards to tighten. To loosen, lift the toggle on the side of the laces.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and affect the GORE-TEX membrane. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the purpose of the SensiFit™ technology?
SensiFit™ cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and customized fit all around the foot.
How waterproof is the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent waterproofness, protecting against rain and splashes. However, prolonged submersion or high-pressure water ingress may still occur.
What kind of terrain is the Contagrip® outsole best suited for?
Contagrip® is designed for versatility, offering reliable traction on a wide range of surfaces, including wet, dry, hard, and loose ground.
Is this shoe available in different widths?
The XT-6 GTX is generally offered in a standard unisex fit. Specific width options may vary by region and availability.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen properly.
Ensure the Quicklace™ toggle is fully engaged when tightening. To loosen, pull the toggle upwards firmly. Check for any debris obstructing the lace channel.
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX.
The GORE-TEX membrane is waterproof but can be overwhelmed by prolonged submersion or extreme pressure. Ensure laces are snug and there are no large tears. Moisture can also come from sweat if socks are not breathable.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.
Check the Contagrip® outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the sole is significantly worn, replacement may be considered.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure the SensiFit™ system is correctly adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Try different sock thicknesses. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before extended use.
