Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the Tecton X 3 with moisture-wicking socks and consider using gaiters for extra debris protection on loose trails. Break in the shoes gradually to allow the carbon plates to adapt to your stride. The Vibram® outsole provides excellent durability, but avoid excessive road running to preserve the lugs for trail use.
