FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Salomon XT-6 Expanse Leather hiking shoes are water-resistant due to their leather construction but are not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle wet conditions but may not be suitable for prolonged immersion in water.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the main difference between these and the standard XT-6?

The primary difference is the use of a leather upper in the Expanse Leather version, providing enhanced durability and a different aesthetic compared to the synthetic materials often found in the standard XT-6.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

These shoes are ideal for mixed terrain, including hiking trails, rocky paths, and general outdoor use. The Contagrip outsole provides excellent traction on various surfaces.

Can I wear these for running?

While they offer good cushioning and stability, the XT-6 Expanse Leather is primarily designed as a hiking shoe and for everyday wear. For dedicated trail running, Salomon offers specific trail running shoe models.

What is the purpose of the Agile Chassis System?

The Agile Chassis System is designed to provide stability and support on uneven terrain, ensuring a secure and responsive ride by controlling motion and protecting the foot.

How should I break in these shoes?

These shoes are designed for immediate comfort due to the Ortholite insole and padded collar. However, a few shorter walks are recommended to allow the leather to fully conform to your foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Ensure the Contagrip outsole is clean and free from debris. For worn-out tread, consider replacement.

Foot discomfort after extended wear

Adjust the lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure the Sensifit system is properly utilized. Consider adding aftermarket insoles if needed.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a suitable leather conditioner. Follow the specific care instructions for leather maintenance.

Verify the Agile Chassis System is intact and not compromised. Ensure laces are tied securely to maximize the benefits of the Sensifit structure.
