FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper provides good protection against light splashes and damp conditions, they are not classified as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
These are primarily designed as lifestyle and urban exploration trainers; while comfortable, they may lack the specific weight-savings required for long-distance running.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your foot should feel secure with no heel slippage, and there should be roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Does the lacing system need replacing?
The classic lacing system is highly durable, but if needed, standard athletic laces can be used as replacements.
Can I machine wash the trainers?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structural integrity of the chassis. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The SensiFit system is designed for a snug fit, but the leather construction may stretch slightly over time to accommodate wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly pinched
Loosen the lacing system, particularly over the midfoot area, and ensure the tongue is centered properly.
Outsole collecting too much debris
The deep lugs are designed for traction; use a stiff-bristled brush to clear out embedded stones or mud after use.
Leather appearing dry
Apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for footwear to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your XT-6 Expanse, begin by adjusting the lacing system to ensure the SensiFit system is pulling evenly across the bridge of your foot. These shoes are true-to-size for most adults, but wearing mid-weight socks is recommended for optimal comfort. To maintain the leather upper, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt after each use. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging the leather in water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the leather and the integrity of the adhesive bonding.
