FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon XT-6 Hiking Shoes are water-resistant due to their leather construction, but not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle wet conditions and offer protection from splashes and light rain, but prolonged immersion may lead to water ingress.
What is the difference between the XT-6 and other Salomon hiking shoes?
The XT-6 series is known for its blend of trail running technology and hiking durability, featuring a robust build, advanced cushioning, and a distinctive aesthetic. Other Salomon lines might focus more heavily on specific aspects like extreme waterproofing or lightweight flexibility.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Salomon, comparing your foot measurement to the UK sizing. The shoes generally fit true to size, but consider thicker socks if you plan to wear them in colder conditions or for long hikes.
Can these shoes be resoled?
The Salomon XT-6 is not typically designed for resoling. The outsole is bonded, and replacement is not a standard service. Focus on proper care to maximize the lifespan of the original sole.
What type of socks are recommended?
Merino wool or synthetic hiking socks are recommended. These materials wick moisture effectively and provide cushioning without adding excessive bulk, complementing the shoe's performance features.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Salomon typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty documentation provided with your purchase or check the official Salomon website for the most current details.
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While durable and offering good traction, these shoes are not insulated for extreme winter conditions. For deep snow or very cold temperatures, consider adding thermal socks or opting for a winter-specific hiking boot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a looser fit. Ensure socks are appropriate thickness for the shoe. Break-in period may be required for optimal comfort.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Contagrip® outsole is clean from mud or debris. For extremely slippery conditions, proceed with caution. Consider alternative footwear if consistently facing very slick terrain.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Apply a dedicated leather conditioner according to product instructions. Ensure shoes are not exposed to excessive heat or prolonged direct sunlight.
Quicklace™ system is difficult to adjust
Check the lace for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the lace is threaded correctly through the eyelets. If frayed or damaged, the lace may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. The primary setup involves adjusting the Quicklace™ system for your perfect fit. Once laced, tuck the excess lace into the lace garage on the tongue.
Compatibility: While designed for hiking and trail running, the XT-6's aesthetic also makes them suitable for casual wear. They pair well with hiking pants, shorts, and athletic apparel.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
- Leather Care: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and protected. This will help prevent drying and cracking.
- Laces: Inspect the Quicklace™ system regularly for wear. Replacement laces are available from Salomon.
