SALOMON XT-6 Gore-Tex - Black - Green - UK 5.5

Yes, they feature a PFC-free ePE GORE-TEX membrane that provides waterproof protection while remaining breathable.

While evolved from trail running heritage, their primary design is for urban adventures and mixed terrain. For highly technical or extreme trail running, dedicated trail running shoes might offer more specialized features.

The Quicklace™ system typically requires minimal cleaning. Use a damp cloth to wipe it down. Avoid excessive force or lubricants, as this can affect its function.

The anti-debris mesh is designed to prevent small particles like dirt, sand, and pebbles from entering the shoe, maintaining comfort and preventing irritation.

Fit can vary. While the Quicklace™ system offers adjustability, the overall construction is based on a standard fit. Trying them on is recommended if you have significantly wide feet.

The primary difference is the inclusion of the GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable membrane in this version, offering enhanced protection against wet conditions, which is absent in standard XT-6 models.

Ensure laces are properly tightened and the tongue is correctly positioned to seal the opening. Check the GORE-TEX membrane for any visible damage or excessive wear. Clean the exterior of the shoe to ensure the membrane is not blocked by dirt.

Clean the Contagrip® outsole thoroughly to remove embedded debris. Inspect the tread pattern for significant wear. For very smooth, wet surfaces, a reduction in grip compared to dry conditions is normal for all treaded outsoles.

Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape or intended use.
