Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers are designed for adults seeking versatile footwear for both performance activities like hiking and everyday style. Their key benefit is the combination of durability, comfort, and weather protection thanks to GORE-TEX (GTX) technology, all within an iconic design. A potential caveat is that the specific Aspargus Green/Tea/B choco colourway may be a bold choice for some. These trainers offer advanced features for challenging terrains while maintaining a stylish aesthetic.

FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers suitable for trail running?
While the XT-6 GTX offers excellent grip and support, they are primarily designed as durable trainers for hiking and everyday wear. For dedicated trail running, Salomon offers specific trail running models that may be better suited.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not constricting, especially around the heel and midfoot.
Can I wear these trainers in very cold weather?
The GORE-TEX lining provides good insulation, but these are not insulated winter boots. For extreme cold, consider layering with warm socks or opting for a more specialized winter footwear.
How often should I clean my XT-6 GTX trainers?
Clean your trainers after particularly dirty use or when they appear visibly soiled. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended for maintenance.
What is the main difference between XT-6 and XT-6 GTX models?
The primary difference is the inclusion of GORE-TEX (GTX) in the XT-6 GTX model, which provides enhanced waterproofing and breathability. The non-GTX XT-6 models may be lighter but lack this advanced weather protection.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after wearing for a while
Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a looser fit. Ensure the correct size was purchased, as break-in may be required.
Water seeping through despite GORE-TEX
Check for damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Ensure laces are tied securely and the tongue is properly positioned. Clean any debris from the shoe's exterior.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be obstructing the tread pattern.
Difficulty adjusting Quicklace™ system
Ensure the laces are not tangled. Check the lace lock mechanism for any obstructions. Refer to the Salomon website for detailed Quicklace™ adjustment guides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. The Quicklace™ system can be adjusted by pulling the laces tighter or loosening them, with the excess lace tucking into the lace pocket on the tongue.
Compatibility: The Salomon XT-6 GTX is designed for adult unisex wear. It is compatible with standard hiking socks and casual socks. It pairs well with outdoor gear, activewear, and casual attire.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your XT-6 GTX trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the materials. Reapply waterproofing treatments sparingly if needed, following product instructions.
