FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers suitable for hiking?
Yes, the XT-6 GTX is designed with features like GORE-TEX waterproofing, a Contagrip® outsole for traction, and a stable chassis, making them well-suited for hiking on various terrains.
How do I clean my XT-6 GTX trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush to remove loose dirt, followed by a damp cloth and mild soap for tougher stains. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
Will my feet get wet in the rain with these trainers?
No, the GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent waterproofing, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I use these for running on roads?
While designed for trail running and mixed terrain, the cushioning and stability of the XT-6 GTX can make them suitable for occasional road running. However, for dedicated road running, a specialized road running shoe might offer better performance.
How durable is the Quicklace™ system?
The Quicklace™ system is engineered for durability and ease of use. It's designed for quick adjustments and reliable performance over many uses.
What is the main advantage of the GTX version?
The primary advantage of the GTX (GORE-TEX) version is its enhanced waterproof and breathable protection, making it ideal for use in wet or damp environments.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure the Quicklace™ system is pulled taut and the lace tag is securely locked. Tuck excess lace into the pocket firmly. Consider re-tying if the lace mechanism appears worn.
Feet feel warm or less breathable
This can occur in very hot, dry conditions due to the GORE-TEX membrane's protective properties. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists in hot weather, consider a non-GTX model for increased airflow.
Traction feels reduced on specific surfaces
Check the Contagrip® outsole for embedded debris (mud, stones). Clean the sole thoroughly. If the outsole appears significantly worn, it may be time for replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure the SensiFit™ system is correctly adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The Quicklace™ system allows for immediate adjustment. To tighten, pull the laces upwards; to loosen, pull the lace tag downwards. Any excess lace can be tucked into the lace pocket on the tongue.
Compatibility:
The Salomon XT-6 GTX is designed for versatility and is compatible with most outdoor activities and casual wear. It functions well with various types of socks, though thinner, moisture-wicking socks are recommended for optimal temperature regulation.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Laundering: Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Regularly check the GORE-TEX membrane's integrity. While durable, extreme wear and tear can compromise its performance over time.
