The Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX excels in providing reliable performance across a range of activities and conditions. Its GORE-TEX membrane ensures your feet remain dry whether you're navigating rainy city streets or damp, mixed-terrain paths. The closed mesh anti-debris upper is particularly useful in preventing small rocks, sand, or other detritus from entering the shoe, making it ideal for urban exploration or light trail adventures where debris might be present.
Thanks to its durable cushioning, the XT-6 GORE-TEX offers sustained comfort, making it suitable for long walks, extended commutes, or day-long excursions. The geometrical lugged rubber outsole is a standout feature, providing secure footing on slick sidewalks, uneven urban landscapes, and even light off-road trails. This ensures confidence in varied environments, from paved park paths to cobbled streets or gravel trails.
For example, during a sudden downpour, the GORE-TEX will keep your feet dry, while the lugged outsole will maintain grip on wet surfaces. If your day involves moving between indoor settings and outdoor elements, the XT-6 GORE-TEX transitions seamlessly, offering both protection and a distinctive style. It's built for those who require both technical capability and everyday wearability in challenging conditions.

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially in dirty conditions, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, wipe the upper with a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
Waterproofing Maintenance: While the GORE-TEX membrane provides inherent waterproofing, the outer material's water repellency (DWR coating) can diminish over time. If water no longer beads on the surface, you may use a suitable PFC-free re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for breathable waterproof fabrics.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew.
Avoid Submersion: While waterproof, excessive submersion or water entering over the top collar of the shoe will lead to wet feet. The waterproofing applies to the GORE-TEX membrane, not the top opening.
