Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX - Black - UK 7.5

Yes, they feature a PFC-free ePE GORE-TEX membrane that provides durable waterproof and breathable protection, keeping your feet dry in rain, puddles, and damp conditions.

The Quicklace™ system is a minimalist, strong lace that allows for one-pull tightening. You pull the tab down to tighten and press the button on the tab to release the tension. It provides a secure, customized fit with ease.

While rooted in Salomon's trail-running legacy and capable on light to moderate trails, the XT-6 GORE-TEX is primarily optimized for demanding urban conditions and daily versatile use. For very technical or extreme trail running, Salomon offers other specialized models.

Gently brush off loose dirt. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing to protect the GORE-TEX membrane.

The anti-debris mesh is a tightly woven material that prevents small stones, sand, and other loose particles from entering the shoe, enhancing comfort and protecting your feet, especially on mixed terrain.

The Agile Chassis System (ACS) works with the midsole to provide stability and motion control without making the shoe overly stiff. It enhances the shoe's ability to adapt to terrain while maintaining comfort and flexibility.

Due to the GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, these shoes are best suited for cool to mild temperatures and wet conditions. For very hot and dry climates, a non-waterproof shoe would offer better breathability.

To adjust, pull the slider up to loosen, or pull the main lace down and then slide the tab down towards the shoe for a tighter fit. Ensure the excess lace is tucked into the lace pocket.

While the GORE-TEX membrane is waterproof, ensure water isn't entering from the top opening of the shoe (e.g., splashing over). Check for any physical damage to the GORE-TEX membrane on the shoe's upper, and ensure your socks are wicking moisture away effectively.

Clean the Mud Contagrip® outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or debris that might reduce traction. If the outsole lugs are significantly worn, performance may be reduced.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your activity. Adjust the Quicklace™ tension to see if it alleviates pressure. Allow for a short break-in period if the shoes are new. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size and fit.

Remove insoles after use to air out. Allow shoes to dry completely between wears. If needed, use an athletic shoe deodorizer or a mild solution of baking soda and water to clean the interior, then air dry thoroughly.
