FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, this version of the Salomon XT-6 features GORE-TEX waterproof protection, meaning they are designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions like rain, puddles, or damp trails.
How do I clean my Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft cloth or brush. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
Thanks to their All Terrain Contragrip® Outsole and Agile Chassis™ System, these shoes are highly versatile and excel on a wide range of surfaces, including technical trails, loose gravel, dry paths, and urban environments. They are designed for both performance and casual wear.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running or hiking?
Yes, with the EnergyCell™ Midsole and OrthoLite® Sockliner providing excellent cushioning and comfort, the Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX are well-suited for long-distance trail running, extended hikes, and sustained wear. Their durable construction supports demanding activities.
How does the Quicklace system work?
The Quicklace system allows for fast, one-pull tightening and easy release. To tighten, pull the thin lace until snug and slide the locker down. To loosen, press the button on the locker and pull the tongue. Excess lace can be stowed in the tongue pocket.
Are Salomon XT-6 shoes true to size?
Salomon shoes generally run true to size for most users. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult Salomon's official sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Can I replace the Quicklace system if it breaks?
Salomon typically offers Quicklace repair kits, and the system is designed to be replaceable. Contact Salomon's customer support or an authorized retailer for replacement parts and instructions.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or too loose after adjustment.
The Quicklace system requires a balance. Ensure you pull the lace evenly when tightening. If too tight, press the release button on the lace locker and gently pull the tongue forward to release tension, then readjust. If too loose, pull the lace firmly from the top until desired snugness is achieved and slide the locker down.
Feet feel uncomfortably warm or sweaty.
While GORE-TEX is breathable, individual foot temperature varies. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool, not cotton). Consider the ambient temperature and activity level. If persistent, allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each use.
Reduced grip on surfaces that should be handled by Contagrip.
Check the outsole for any embedded debris (mud, small stones) that might be affecting traction. Clean the treads thoroughly with a brush and water. If the issue persists and the outsole appears worn, consider that the tread might be losing its effectiveness due to extensive use.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes.
- Cleaning:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth after each use.
- For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the mesh and synthetic overlays.
- Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage materials, especially the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying:
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Avoid direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight, blow dryers), as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
- GORE-TEX Care: The GORE-TEX membrane requires no special treatment beyond general cleaning. Avoid punctures or harsh chemicals that could compromise its waterproof integrity.
