FAQs
Do these trainers run true to size?
No, the SALOMON XT-6 trainers tend to run small. It is generally recommended to size up by a half or full size from your usual footwear size.
Are the SALOMON XT-6 GTX suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, while designed for trail running, their comfort, waterproof features, and iconic style make them very popular for everyday urban wear, especially in unpredictable weather conditions.
How do I clean the Gore-Tex ePE membrane?
Gore-Tex ePE can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the shoe is rinsed thoroughly if soap is used and allowed to air dry.
What is the purpose of the lace pocket?
The lace pocket on the tongue is designed to securely store the excess Quicklace™ cord, preventing it from snagging on obstacles and keeping a clean profile.
How durable are the XT-6 trainers?
They are built with durable materials designed for tough conditions, including a closed mesh upper and a robust outsole with a downhill chassis for enhanced longevity on trails and varied terrain.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
The waterproof membrane can reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes. While suitable for general wear, they may feel warm during intense activity in very hot conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small
The SALOMON XT-6 runs small. We recommend sizing up by at least half a size or a full size for optimal comfort.
Laces not staying secured
Ensure the Quicklace™ knot is firmly tightened. If the lace ends are frayed, they may not secure properly; trim them if necessary.
Water seeping through
Check for damage to the Gore-Tex ePE membrane or seams. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to seal out water. Clean the exterior to ensure debris is not compromising the seal.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be obstructing their design. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear.
