Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX - Black - UK 5.5

While rooted in trail running, the XT-6 GORE-TEX is primarily evolved for tough city conditions, offering stability and protection for daily wear and walks rather than dedicated performance running. Its design prioritizes durability and weather protection over lightweight running dynamics.

Gently wipe the synthetic and textile upper with a damp cloth. For the sole, you can use a brush to remove mud and debris. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Quicklace™ is a minimalist, strong lace for one-pull tightening. This system allows for easy on-and-off, quick adjustments, and a consistently secure, customized fit by simply pulling the lace and locking it into place.

PFC-free ePE membrane refers to the GORE-TEX material being made without per- and poly-fluorinated chemicals, which are often used in traditional waterproofing. This signifies an environmentally conscious approach to waterproofing technology without compromising performance.

The Agile Chassis™ System (ACS) works in conjunction with the EnergyCell midsole to provide enhanced stability and damping. It helps to control the foot's motion and provide support, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable ride on varied and challenging surfaces.

Yes, Salomon offers Quicklace™ repair kits or replacement laces. You can often find these through official Salomon retailers or their customer service channels.

To adjust, pull the lace tightly to close the shoe, then push the lace locker down towards the shoe. To loosen, press the button on the lace locker and slide it away from the shoe. Ensure the lace is properly stowed in the tongue pocket.

First, ensure the shoes are properly laced and the tongue is flat to prevent water entry from the top opening. Check for any tears or visible damage to the shoe's upper or GORE-TEX membrane. Also, consider if excessive sweat build-up is the cause; GORE-TEX is waterproof but breathability can be challenged in extreme heat or with non-breathable socks.

Regularly clean the Mud Contagrip® outsole to ensure maximum traction. Built-up mud, dirt, or debris in the lugs can reduce grip effectiveness. Inspect the sole for excessive wear, which might also reduce traction over time.

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Experiment with different lacing tensions using the Quicklace™ system. If discomfort persists, inspect the OrthoLite® insole for proper placement or consider if aftermarket insoles are needed for specific arch support.
