SpeedRoll technology is engineered to create a feeling of effortless forward motion by optimizing the geometry of the shoe, promoting smoother and quicker transitions from landing to toe-off.

Clean them using a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents and do not machine wash or tumble dry them.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or wearing thinner socks. Some shoes may require a short break-in period.

The XT-900 rubber outsole provides good grip, but traction can be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might hinder grip.
