Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your XT-4 GTX trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: The Quicklace system should be tightened to a secure but comfortable level. Ensure the lace locker sits firmly against the tongue to maintain tension.
- Cleaning: Remove dried mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or washing machines, as these can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them directly on a heater or in direct sunlight, as extreme heat can warp the outsole and compromise the waterproof adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the synthetic materials.
