Today I have retired my XT-6 Expanse and I'm unsure
So, after more than three years (shoes bought 2023 January), I have decided to retire my white XT-6 expanses. They were my go to shoes, took them everywhere and survived a lot. Today I also bought a pair of XT-6, when I tried them, feeling wise they were 1:1 to the old ones so I was happy to take them as a replacement. However after coming home and comparing the shoes against each other, I find the old ones much more well constructed and rugged. Especially the old ones feel more durable and less plasticky. Can anyone tell me, what might be the difference between the shoes? I really loved the old ones because they survived more than 3 years and they were fantastic in any circumstance and I expect 3 years from the new ones, too. Any help is appreciated!
