Salomon XT-6 Expanse Ltr

Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.

Leather: It is a natural material known for its durability, flexibility and ability to adapt to the shape of the foot, ensuring unparalleled comfort and durability.

Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.

OrthoLite®: It is the world standard in shoe insoles, combining a specific polyurethane foam with open-cell technology. Unlike conventional insoles, OrthoLite® does not collapse over time - it retains more than 95% of its original cushioning and shape. Its breathability allows air to circulate directly around the foot, effectively wicking away moisture and keeping the shoe cooler. Plus, it contains an antimicrobial treatment that fights bacteria and odor. It's a lightweight, eco-friendly (contains recycled rubber) and highly comfortable layer that you'll find in quality running, outdoor and urban footwear.

EVA: (Ethylene vinyl acetate) is the most widely used midsole material, valued for its extreme lightness and excellent cushioning capabilities. This foam structure contains thousands of microscopic air bubbles that effectively absorb shock and protect the musculoskeletal system. It is highly flexible, resistant to stress cracking and easily moldable, allowing manufacturers like adidas or Altra to create specific zones of support. It represents the ideal standard for soft impact and comfort in sports and everyday wear.

Agile Chassis System (ACS): A stabilizing element in the midsole that provides a balance between protection and momentum. Increases torsional stability (prevents twisting of the foot) and optimises the smooth transition from heel to toe. Combined with shock-absorbing foam, it provides a confident stride on the ground and in the city.

Rubber: The rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability on a variety of surfaces. Thanks to its elasticity, it absorbs shock, increasing comfort when walking or running.

Contagrip®: Salomon takes pride in making their sneakers as reliable as possible, no matter the weather or surface. Adaptability to any conditions is provided by the Contagrip Outsole, which is a sole that stands on a carefully balanced mix of density, compounds and geometry.
