The Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX is built to perform in demanding real-world scenarios, from traversing harsh city conditions to tackling challenging trails. Its robust construction with the GORE-TEX ePE membrane ensures uncompromising weather protection, making it ideal for rainy days or muddy paths. The anti-debris closed mesh upper acts as a barrier, keeping out small stones and dirt, which is crucial for comfort during long walks or runs.
Underfoot, the durable EVA cushioning delivers consistent shock absorbency, providing a soft landing and reducing impact fatigue, whether you're pounding city pavements or uneven trail surfaces. This contributes significantly to all-day comfort, making it suitable for extended wear.
Stability is a key highlight, thanks to the Agile Chassis System and the Mud Contagrip outsole. The chassis system provides a stable platform, especially on dynamic terrains, while the aggressive lug pattern of the outsole ensures reliable traction on loose dirt, mud, and uneven ground. This combination empowers confident movement across varied landscapes, from slippery urban sidewalks to technical hiking trails. Its heritage in trail running means it's designed for protection and performance across any distance, adapting well to changing elements and terrains.

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes:
Cleaning:
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth.
For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap (avoid harsh detergents).
Gently scrub the upper and outsole. Do not machine wash.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials and GORE-TEX membrane.
Maintenance of GORE-TEX: The GORE-TEX membrane is designed to be durable. If the outer fabric's water repellency diminishes over time (water stops beading), you can reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX footwear. Always follow the DWR product's instructions.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
