Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT-6 GTX is a high-performance, weather-ready trainer designed for adults who need a versatile shoe capable of handling both rugged trail environments and urban settings. By combining the signature stability of the XT-6 series with a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, it provides essential protection from the elements, though the substantial construction may feel slightly heavy for those accustomed to minimal speed-focused racing flats.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand wash them to preserve the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane and the construction of the chassis.
Can I use these for everyday road running?
While capable, they are designed primarily for trail and all-terrain use. They may feel stiffer on pure asphalt compared to dedicated road runners.
Does the GORE-TEX make them too hot?
The membrane is designed to be breathable, but they will be warmer than non-waterproof trainers due to the protective construction.
How do I replace the laces if they snap?
The Salomon Quicklace system can be replaced with official Salomon spare lace kits available through authorized retailers.
Are they true to size?
Salomon trainers generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to leave a small amount of room in the toecap for downhill comfort.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace feels loose over time
Ensure the toggle is fully locked and the lace is tucked securely into the tongue pocket.
Water entering from the top
The GORE-TEX membrane is waterproof, but the ankle collar is not. Avoid deep water crossings that exceed the shoe height.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent weatherproofing for all-season use
- Superior grip on muddy and uneven trails
- Highly stable chassis for long-distance comfort

Cons
- Can feel heavier than non-waterproof performance shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the SensiFIT system is adjusted evenly across the midfoot. Use the Quicklace toggle to secure the fit, tucking excess lace into the dedicated storage pocket on the tongue. For maintenance, remove surface dirt after trail use using a soft brush. If the trainers become heavily soiled, hand wash them with lukewarm water and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and adhesive bonds. Ensure they air-dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and material integrity.
