FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers are designed to blend performance with style, making them suitable for both trail running and everyday casual wear, especially for those who appreciate an athletic aesthetic and robust comfort.
How do I clean my XT-6 GTX trainers?
Clean them with a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
What is the main benefit of the GTX in the name?
GTX stands for GORE-TEX, indicating that these trainers feature a waterproof and breathable membrane to keep your feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions.
How do I ensure the best fit with the Quicklace™ system?
Adjust the laces to be snug but not overly tight, ensuring even pressure across your foot. The system allows for quick adjustments on the go.
Can these trainers be used for hiking as well as running?
Absolutely. The XT-6 GTX series is engineered for versatile performance, offering the stability, traction, and protection needed for hiking, alongside the cushioning and agility required for running.
What surfaces is the Contagrip® outsole best for?
The Contagrip® outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on a wide range of surfaces, including wet, dry, hard, and loose ground.
Do these trainers require a break-in period?
While designed for comfort, like many performance footwear, a short break-in period might help them mold to your specific foot shape for optimal comfort, especially for extended use.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoe
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that the Quicklace™ is fully tightened and that no debris is caught in the tongue or collar. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may be compromised and the shoes may need replacement.
Laces won't stay tight
Check that the Quicklace™ stopper is functioning correctly. If it feels loose, try cleaning the mechanism or re-threading the lace through the stopper. Ensure the lace is not frayed.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the tightness of the Quicklace™ system, ensuring even pressure distribution. Try wearing different sock thicknesses. Some users may find a break-in period necessary for the shoe to conform to their foot shape.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that could be hindering grip. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; if worn down, the outsole may need to be replaced by a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the Quicklace™ system for a snug, secure fit. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the foot, avoiding pressure points. The SensiFit™ technology works best when the laces are properly adjusted.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult adventurers and are compatible with most sock types suitable for outdoor activities. They are ideal for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor exploration.
Care: To maintain performance, clean the trainers regularly. Brush off loose dirt after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush, and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing. It is recommended to periodically treat the exterior with a waterproofing spray suitable for GORE-TEX products to maintain their water-repellent properties.
