FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers suitable for wide feet?
The XT-6 GTX has a standard fit. While the Quicklace™ system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or consulting a size guide is recommended.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is best cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the membrane's properties.
Can I replace the OrthoLite® sockliner?
Yes, the molded OrthoLite® sockliner is removable and can be replaced with a custom or alternative insole if desired for a different feel or support level.
Are these shoes good for everyday running on pavement?
While they offer good cushioning and stability, the XT-6 GTX is primarily designed for trail running. For extensive pavement running, a shoe specifically designed for road surfaces might offer better long-term comfort and durability for that activity.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
With proper care, the GORE-TEX membrane's waterproofing and breathability can last for the expected lifespan of the shoe. Regular cleaning and avoiding damage will help maintain performance.
What is the benefit of the Agile Chassis™ System?
The Agile Chassis™ System provides lateral stability and torsional control, guiding the foot for a more stable and efficient stride, especially on uneven or challenging terrain.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen properly
Ensure the lace is correctly threaded through the Quicklace™ system. Check for any debris or damage in the lacing mechanism. If the lace is frayed, it may need replacement.
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Verify that the shoe is fully zipped or the tongue is properly seated to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Ensure socks are not the source of moisture (sweat).
Slipping on certain surfaces
Clean the Mud Contagrip® outsole of mud, dirt, or debris, as this can affect traction. Be aware that no outsole can provide grip on all surfaces, especially polished or extremely smooth ones.
Discomfort or pressure points
Break in the shoes gradually. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Adjust the Quicklace™ tension for a more personalized fit. The OrthoLite® sockliner can sometimes be replaced with a different insole if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Quicklace™ system is designed for simplicity. To tighten, pull the lace upwards; to loosen, press the tab. Ensure the excess lace is tucked into the lace garage to prevent snagging.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for trail running, hiking, and everyday wear. They are suitable for most foot types due to their supportive chassis and cushioning.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For interior cleaning, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Air dry away from direct heat.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged submersion in water, which can degrade its performance over time. Periodically check and clean the lacing system.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably not compressed, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
