The Salomon XT-EVO marries the signature sole unit of the ubiquitous XT-6 with an entirely redesigned upper defined by substantial TPU reinforcements. A sizable protective shell wraps around the lower half of the upper, combining sharp molded lines with diamond-patterned detailing beneath, while the tongue and lacing setup skew slightly toward the midfoot, anchored by Salomon’s signature pull-lacing system for a secure, performance-led finish.
