Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX – Safari / Black | PFC-Free Waterproof EnergyCell Trail Sneaker

Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX – Safari / Black | The Most Contrasted Waterproof XT-6 in the Lineup

A warm Safari beige—somewhere between sand and light khaki—that black TPU film cuts into zones of light and shadow with a graphic precision that monochrome colorways never achieve: warm against cold, sand against asphalt. This contrast is what makes the Safari/Black the most visually arresting colorway in the 2024 GORE-TEX lineup. The PFC-free GORE-TEX membrane integrated into the lining fundamentally changes the shoe’s relationship with the elements without altering its silhouette—total protection from rain and wind, invisible from the outside. The discreet GORE-TEX logo on the side, tricolor lacing system, and Safari/beige midsole with black ACS close out a shoe where every detail plays the same tension between sand and shadow.

GORE-TEX PFC-Free + EnergyCell: Waterproofing That Respects the Planet
The PFC-free GORE-TEX membrane delivers total waterproofing while maintaining breathability—no perfluorocarbons, no performance compromise versus standard membranes. EnergyCell absorbs impact across the full length, the full-length ACS provides stability on all surfaces, and sensiFIT wraps the foot from midsole to QuickLace for a precise hold. Mud Contagrip deep-lug outsole delivers maximum traction—on wet asphalt as well as muddy trail.
