Getting Started
There's no complex 'setup' for the Salomon XT-6 EXPANSE. Simply unbox and wear. We recommend a short break-in period for any new footwear. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the shoe to conform to your foot shape and for you to get accustomed to the fit and feel.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for Unisex wear and are suitable for adult age groups. They are versatile enough for everyday urban activities, casual wear, and light outdoor excursions.
Care Instructions
Cleaning: For general dirt and mud, allow it to dry first. Then, gently brush off loose debris with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher spots, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris. Clean the insole periodically to maintain hygiene and freshness. Remove insoles to air out after extensive use.
