Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX - Black

Yes, the Salomon XT-6 GTX features a PFC-free ePE GORE-TEX membrane, providing reliable and durable waterproof protection to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

To clean, gently brush off loose dirt and wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not machine wash or use direct heat sources.

The Quicklace system offers fast, easy, and secure one-pull tightening for a customized fit. It allows for quick on and off, and the excess lace can be neatly tucked into a pocket on the tongue.

The XT-6 GTX is rooted in trail running and provides excellent stability, protection, and grip for light trails, varied terrains, and everyday urban use. For serious, technical trail running or demanding hiking, Salomon offers other specialized models with features tailored for extreme conditions, though the XT-6 GTX is highly capable for most active uses.

The anti-debris mesh is a tightly woven upper material designed to prevent small stones, sand, dirt, and other loose debris from entering the shoe, enhancing comfort and protecting your feet.

Salomon shoes, including the XT-6 GTX, generally fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. We recommend referring to Salomon's size chart or trying them on to ensure the best fit.

The Agile Chassis System (ACS) works in conjunction with the EnergyCell midsole to provide enhanced stability and protection. It helps control energy return and provides a secure, responsive ride, especially on uneven terrain.

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane hasn't been compromised by a puncture or significant abrasion. Check for proper fit; if the shoe is too large, water can enter from the ankle opening. Also, verify that your socks are not absorbing moisture and wicking it away from your foot effectively.

To adjust, simply pull the lace up through the toggle for tightening. To loosen, press the button on the toggle and pull the toggle away from the shoe. Ensure the lace is evenly distributed across the foot before securing.

Clean the Mud Contagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any lodged mud or debris that might be reducing traction. Check the sole for excessive wear, which can reduce grip effectiveness over time.

Remove the OrthoLite insoles and allow them and the shoes to air dry completely after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight to absorb odors.

While the anti-debris mesh is effective, ensure your socks are pulled up to cover the ankle opening. If walking through very deep gravel or sand, consider gaiters for additional protection.
