The Salomon XT-6 EXPANSE is built for comfort and performance across mixed environments. Its Mud Contagrip® outsole ensures you maintain excellent grip whether navigating city sidewalks, park trails, or even light off-road paths. For example, you'll feel confident on damp leaves or gravel. The Agile Chassis™ System works to stabilize your foot, providing a smooth and responsive feel, particularly noticeable during varied activities like walking extended distances or light jogging. The combination of EndoFit™ and SensiFit™ delivers a secure, 'hugged' sensation around your foot, minimizing internal movement and enhancing overall comfort during active use. The OrthoLite® insole further contributes to comfort, absorbing impact and providing cushioning that holds up throughout your day. While not a dedicated trail-runner, its heritage ensures it handles light outdoor excursions with ease, performing admirably in both functional and stylistic roles.
Using your Salomon XT-6 EXPANSE sneakers is straightforward. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness. The SensiFit™ system is designed to cradle your foot, offering a secure fit from the first wear. Allow for a short break-in period if the snug fit feels unfamiliar.
These sneakers feature a unisex design and are suitable for adults. They are ideal for individuals looking for a comfortable and stable shoe for daily wear, light hiking, or urban exploration. The UK 10.5 size corresponds to standard adult footwear measurements.
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-6 EXPANSE sneakers:
Cleaning: Wipe the textile and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For tougher mud on the Contagrip® outsole, use a soft brush.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Protective Toecap: The protective toecap adds durability, but avoid intentional heavy impacts to maintain the shoe's integrity.
Info needed: Detailed washing instructions for specific materials are not provided. Always refer to any care tags or Salomon's official cleaning recommendations if available.
