FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the GTX designation indicates they are equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane for full waterproof protection.
Are these trainers true to size?
Salomon trainers generally fit true to size. If you prefer to wear thicker hiking socks, some users prefer a half-size up.
Can I use these for technical hiking?
They are designed for versatility. While they offer excellent support for light trails and mixed terrain, specialized mountaineering boots may be better for high-altitude or extreme terrain.
How do I maintain the Gore-Tex membrane?
Keep the shoes clean and avoid machine washing. Gentle hand cleaning with water is best to maintain the breathability and waterproof performance.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The XT-6 has a relatively anatomical fit, but as a unisex shoe, it is designed to accommodate a variety of widths.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective over time
Ensure the exterior fabric is clean. Sometimes dirt buildup interferes with the DWR coating. Reapply a specialized spray if necessary.
Feeling pressure points during wear
Adjust the lace tension. The XT-6 system allows for micro-adjustments; ensure they are not overtightened across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers, keep the following in mind:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe for natural foot expansion.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. Wipe with a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity.
