FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the GTX designation indicates they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which provides reliable waterproof and breathable protection.
Can I use these for heavy hiking?
The XT-6 GTX is designed for trail and urban versatility; while very capable, they are more of a hybrid trainer than a heavy-duty hiking boot.
How do I clean the brown and grey material?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the water-repellent coating on the upper.
Are they true to size?
Salomon trainers generally follow standard sizing, but if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, some users find sizing up by a half-size comfortable.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, Salomon quick-lace kits are available and compatible if the original laces ever wear out.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The XT-6 series features a standard width, but the adjustable lacing system allows for some customization to accommodate different foot volumes.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the sliding toggle on the quick-lace system to redistribute pressure across the top of the foot.
Accumulated dirt on outsole
Use a stiff-bristled brush once the mud has dried to clear the traction lugs for maximum grip.
Reduced breathability in hot weather
Because of the waterproof membrane, ensure you are wearing lightweight, synthetic socks rather than thick cotton.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the quick-lace system until the tension is uniform across the instep without restricting circulation. Because these are technical trainers, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking socks to complement the breathable nature of the membrane. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft brush and mild soap to remove surface dirt. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage or warping. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing technology.
