Salomon has revealed a new ‘XT-6 GORE-TEX’ silhouette designed for all-terrain activities including running, exploring the city, or taking on a hiking trail. The shoe boasts a GORE-TEX ePE membrane for additional durability and grip, and a PFC-free membrane provides this footwear offering with waterproof and wind-resistant characteristics.
In addition, the shoe comes with an anti-debris mesh material and arrives in brown and black colorways with a drawstring lace closure. Final details include geometric detailing, Salomon branding on the lateral rear area, and a rugged sole. Hits of red, blue, and yellow near the Salomon branding on the tongue unit provide contrast.
