Salomon XT-6

Quick lacing system: (Quick Lace System) An alternative to conventional laces, based on the principle of a sliding slider (brake). This system uses high-strength, thin Kevlar or nylon cables that pass through eyelets with reduced friction. The main benefit is the ability to evenly pull down the entire upper of the shoe in one smooth motion, ensuring precise and secure foot fixation. The mechanism eliminates the risk of the laces coming undone during activity and allows the operational adjustment of the tightness of the shoe even when wearing gloves or in difficult terrain conditions.

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.

Polyurethane foam: (PU) is a high-performance midsole material known for its exceptional dimensional stability and durability. Unlike lighter foams, PU does not break down even after hundreds of kilometres and retains its cushioning properties. Thanks to its higher density, it provides excellent stability and support, which is crucial for heavier runners or hikers with a load. It's the ideal choice for durable outdoor and work footwear where foot protection and maximum resistance to mechanical wear is a priority.

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 sole is a traditional and highly reliable element in the construction of footwear, valued especially for its extreme mechanical resistance and grip. This contact layer is made of natural or synthetic rubber, which is characterized by its high density and elasticity. Due to its physical properties, it provides excellent traction on a wide range of surfaces, from smooth asphalt to unpaved terrain. In addition, the rubber is naturally waterproof and resistant to temperature fluctuations, ensuring stability and a secure stride in a variety of climatic conditions.

Contagrip®: Highly sophisticated sole technology developed by Salomon that integrates insights from biomechanics and materials engineering. This outsole is not made up of a single compound, but a combination of several types of rubber of different densities that are strategically placed throughout the sole. As a result, Contagrip® provides an optimal balance between grip and mechanical resistance. Each variant of this sole is specifically tuned for a particular discipline - from road running to technical trail running to alpine hiking.
