Troubleshooting
Quicklace system is difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the laces are not tangled and that the toggle and eyelets are free from dirt or debris. Check that the lace is correctly threaded through the system.
Foot feels uncomfortable or rubs
Readjust the Quicklace system for a more even distribution of pressure. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the correct fit for your foot shape.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove any embedded mud or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn down.
Materials seem stiff after cleaning
Ensure the shoes were air-dried properly and not exposed to direct heat. Stiffness can sometimes occur if materials dry out too quickly. Use a leather conditioner if applicable and recommended by the manufacturer for specific parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the Quicklace system to your preferred tightness. Once set, the laces can be tightened or loosened with a single pull on the toggle and stowed in the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for adult unisex wear. It is compatible with standard sock types. While not designed for specific electronic devices, its robust build makes it suitable for a wide range of outdoor and urban activities.
Care: To maintain the XT-6 RECUT:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water to gently remove dirt and mud from the mesh and TPU film. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the EVA midsole and Contagrip® outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Laces: Ensure the Quicklace system is free of debris. The lace pocket should be clear to properly store the toggle.
