To ensure the longevity and performance of your Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy or dirty conditions, clean the shoes with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents that could damage the materials or GORE-TEX membrane.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators, campfires, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and compromise the waterproof membrane.
Waterproofing (Reapplication): Over time, the outer textile upper's Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may wear off. You can restore this by applying a fabric-specific DWR spray designed for breathable waterproof materials, following the product instructions carefully.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mold or odor buildup. Avoid storing in compressed or cramped spaces.
