For urban adventurers and trail enthusiasts alike, the Salomon XT-6 trainers blend iconic trail-inspired design with advanced technology. They offer waterproof protection, exceptional comfort, and reliable traction for both city streets and varied terrain. While highly versatile, their robust construction might be more than needed for purely casual indoor wear.
The Salomon XT-6 trainers are engineered with several key technologies to deliver performance and comfort across diverse environments. These features ensure a secure fit, all-weather protection, and stable footing.
Waterproof GORE-TEX Upper: This advanced membrane keeps your feet dry in wet conditions, significantly enhancing the trainers' versatility for all-weather use.
Quicklace Closure: A minimalist, strong lace system that allows for one-pull tightening. This provides a secure and customized fit that's easy to adjust on the go.
Agile Chassis System (ACS): Integrated into the midsole, the ACS enhances stability and cushioning, particularly on uneven or challenging surfaces, providing a smooth and controlled stride.
EndoFit Technology: An internal fit sleeve designed to hug the foot in key places. It improves feedback from the ground and offers a precise, comfortable, and secure foot wrapping.
SensiFit Technology: Cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system. This provides a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit around the foot, reducing slippage.
Mud Contagrip Outsole: Engineered for maximum grip on loose, soft, rugged, and uneven surfaces, this outsole delivers reliable traction and durability on a variety of terrains, including muddy paths.

Setup
Donning: Simply slip your foot into the trainer.
Lacing: Pull the Quicklace tab firmly to tighten the laces until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit.
Secure Laces: Tuck the excess lace into the dedicated lace pocket located on the tongue of the shoe to prevent snagging.
Compatibility
Designed for adults, these trainers are suitable for individuals seeking versatile footwear for walking, urban exploration, and light trail activities.
They are compatible with various terrains, from smooth city pavements to moderately uneven natural paths.
Care
Cleaning: Remove any loose dirt or mud using a soft brush. For the GORE-TEX upper and synthetic areas, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, or in direct sunlight, as high heat can damage the materials and adhesives.
GORE-TEX Maintenance: To maintain the water repellency of the outer fabric (which can diminish over time), periodically treat the surface with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for footwear.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or material degradation.
