Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan and comfort of your Xodus Ultra 4 GTX, consider these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks or easy runs before attempting long-distance treks to allow the upper and midsole to adapt to your foot.
- Sizing: Ensure you have a thumbnail's width of space at the front, as feet tend to swell during long trail efforts.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Never put your shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane and cushioning foams.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the structural integrity of the materials.
