FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the 'GTX' in the name indicates they feature Gore-Tex technology, which makes them waterproof while remaining breathable.
Are these suitable for running?
While durable and supportive, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and light-trail trainers rather than dedicated high-mileage road running shoes.
How do I determine if size 10 is right for me?
Salomon sizing generally runs true to standard UK sizes, but if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the specialized construction and membrane; hand cleaning is safer.
Are they unisex?
Yes, the Salomon XT-6 GTX is designed as a unisex model to accommodate various foot shapes and styles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Wear them indoors for short periods with mid-weight socks to allow the materials to soften and contour to your foot shape.
Waterproofing seems less effective
Ensure the exterior is free of caked-on dirt, which can trap moisture and inhibit breathability; use a designated technical cleaner if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers last, it is important to treat them correctly. Upon receiving your UK size 10 pair, ensure the fit is snug but allows for natural toe movement. To care for the Gore-Tex membrane, avoid using harsh detergents that can strip the water-repellent coating. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water. If they get muddy, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can degrade the adhesive and synthetic materials. Always store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew from forming inside the waterproof lining.
