FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather construction offers some resistance to moisture, they are not classified as fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Can I use these for running?
While they are comfortable and durable, they are categorized as trainers rather than performance running shoes and are best suited for walking, hiking, and daily wear.
How do I clean the exterior?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaps that can strip the leather's natural oils.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the toe.
What is the primary material used?
The X-alp LTR series utilizes high-quality leather for the upper, reinforced for durability and protection.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure reef knot. If the laces are worn, replace them with high-friction performance laces.
Stiff leather during initial use
Wear the shoes indoors for short periods over several days to allow the leather to naturally mold to the shape of your feet.
Loss of traction on smooth surfaces
Check the outsole for trapped debris or mud; clean the treads with a stiff-bristled brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by adjusting the lace-up system to your preferred tension; avoid over-tightening as it may restrict circulation. For care, keep these leather trainers away from direct, high-intensity heat sources which can crack the material. If they become dirty, wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight. Periodically apply a leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the upper panels and extend the life of your footwear.
