The shoe is a symbol of something that takes concepts of free living, constant movement, and being active to a universal structure. It has a web graphic on the shoe that is meant to represent support from the local community. The XT-6 Expanse LTR also has what the brand describes as an 'ergonomic approach' to living life brightly with inspiration from day-to-day interactions. It is made from full-grain leather materials along the upper and further support and stability is aided by the ChassisTM Skeleton.
