FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for everyday wear?
While they offer excellent comfort and style, the XT-6 GTX are primarily designed for performance in outdoor and trail environments. They can be worn casually, but their advanced features are best utilized for their intended purpose.
How do I find the right size?
It is recommended to consult the sizing chart and measure your foot length accurately. Many users find these trainers fit snuggly, so consider trying them on or ordering a half-size up if you prefer more room.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and other shoe components. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water only.
What is the main advantage of the GTX version?
The 'GTX' stands for GORE-TEX, meaning this version includes a waterproof and breathable membrane, offering superior protection against wet conditions compared to non-GTX models.
How durable is the outsole?
The Contagrip® TA outsole is engineered for high durability and traction across a wide range of surfaces, making it suitable for rugged and frequent use.
What does the Agile Chassis System (ACS) do?
The ACS is a stability feature integrated into the midsole that provides a secure and supportive ride, especially on uneven or technical terrain, helping to prevent foot fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoes despite GORE-TEX
Ensure laces are fully tightened and the Quicklace™ pocket is secured. Check for any visible tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Allow shoes to dry completely and re-test.
Traction feels inadequate on certain surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove embedded debris. For extremely slick surfaces, consider that no outsole is entirely slip-proof. Ensure the shoes are properly fitted to avoid foot movement inside, which can affect perceived grip.
Quicklace™ system is difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are clean and free from mud or grit. If the mechanism feels stiff, try gently working it back and forth. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Verify the correct size and fit using the SensiFit™ system. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before attempting long runs or hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The primary adjustment comes from the Quicklace™ system. To tighten, pull the laces upwards and secure them in the lace pocket located at the top of the tongue. To loosen, simply pull the lace loop.
Compatibility:
Designed for unisex adult use. While ideal for trail running and hiking, they are compatible with various outdoor activities. Ensure your sock choice complements the breathability and fit of the shoe.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
