The Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes are built for reliable performance across a spectrum of activities. On light trails and mixed terrain, the All Terrain Contagrip® outsole provides excellent grip, preventing slips on loose gravel or damp roots. The GORE-TEX membrane shines in rainy weather or muddy conditions, ensuring your feet remain dry and comfortable through puddles and downpours. For daily wear and urban environments, their distinctive aesthetic adds a sporty edge to casual outfits, while the cushioning and Quicklace system offer convenience and all-day comfort for commuting or exploring the city. The Agile Chassis™ System enhances stability, making them a dependable choice for varied surfaces, whether you're navigating uneven city pavements or light hiking paths. They perform optimally in conditions where moisture protection and robust traction are priorities.
Using your Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes is straightforward thanks to the Quicklace system:
Loosening: Pull the slider mechanism away from the shoe, towards the toes, and push down on the release button. This will release the lace tension.
Tightening: Pull the slider mechanism up towards the ankle until the desired tension is achieved. The excess lace can be tucked into the lace pocket on the tongue to prevent snagging.
Unisex Design: These shoes are designed to be worn by adults of any gender.
Versatile Styling: Their 'sporty edge' makes them compatible with athletic wear, outdoor gear, and modern casual street style.
Terrain Adaptability: Optimized for all-terrain use, from structured paths to varied outdoor surfaces.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially in dirty or muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For stubborn grime, wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and other materials.
GORE-TEX Maintenance: If the water repellency (DWR coating) starts to diminish over time, you can reapply a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for GORE-TEX footwear. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
