FAQs
Are the Salomon Advanced XT-6 GTX trainers suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane provides excellent waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for a wide range of weather conditions, including rain.
How do I adjust the fit with the Quicklace™ system?
Pull the laces tight to your desired level of snugness and secure them with the toggle. Tuck the excess lace into the lace garage on the tongue of the shoe.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap, and air drying is essential.
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
They are designed for all terrains, with the Contagrip® outsole providing reliable grip on various surfaces including trails, rocks, mud, and urban environments.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not constricting. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box, and the heel should not slip. Use the Quicklace™ system to fine-tune the fit. Refer to sizing charts if unsure.
What is the main difference between XT-6 and XT-6 GTX models?
The 'GTX' in XT-6 GTX signifies the inclusion of Gore-Tex, offering enhanced waterproof and breathable properties compared to the standard XT-6 model.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage despite Gore-Tex
Ensure the shoe is completely dry inside and out. Check laces are fully tightened and tucked in. Inspect for any visible damage to the shoe material or sole. For persistent issues, contact customer support.
Quicklace™ system not tightening properly
Ensure the lace is correctly threaded through the eyelets and the stopper is functioning. Check for any fraying or damage to the lace itself. Clean the lace and stopper mechanism if debris is present.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is selected and laces are adjusted properly using the Quicklace™ system. Wear with appropriate socks. Try walking in them for short periods to allow them to break in. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be impeding traction. Check for excessive wear on the outsole tread.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe down the trainers with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Interior: Remove the insoles and wash them separately with cold water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Laces: Hand wash Quicklace™ laces if they become excessively dirty. Do not machine wash.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
