FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the XT-6 GTX model features a Gore-Tex membrane, making them waterproof and breathable for protection against wet conditions.
How should I clean the Ortholite insole?
The Ortholite insole can be removed for cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
Can these trainers be used for road running?
While they offer good grip, they are primarily designed for trail and outdoor use. For extensive road running, dedicated road running shoes might offer better cushioning and performance.
What does 'GTX' stand for?
GTX is a designation for Gore-Tex, a highly breathable and waterproof fabric technology used in footwear and apparel.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. As these are unisex trainers, consider that men's and women's sizing might differ slightly. Ensure a snug but not tight fit.
What is the main advantage of the Nylon material?
Nylon provides a strong, durable, and abrasion-resistant upper that can withstand tough conditions while remaining relatively lightweight.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite GTX membrane
Ensure all laces are tied tightly and the tongue is properly positioned. Check for any physical damage to the shoe or the GTX membrane. Clean the shoes thoroughly as per care instructions.
Reduced grip on outsole
Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove mud or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear.
Discomfort or poor fit
Ensure the correct UK size has been selected. The lacing system allows for some adjustment; experiment with different lacing techniques to optimize fit and comfort for your foot shape.
Material discoloration
Multicolor designs may fade slightly with prolonged sun exposure. Store shoes away from direct sunlight when not in use. Gentle cleaning with appropriate products should minimize discoloration.
