FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX suitable for daily commuting?
Yes, the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers offer comfort and durability for daily wear, along with waterproof protection that is beneficial in varied weather conditions.
How do I clean the GTX membrane?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane. Ensure they air dry completely.
What is the main advantage of the GTX technology?
GTX (Gore-Tex) technology provides a waterproof barrier, preventing water from entering the shoe while allowing perspiration vapor to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions.
Can I use these for hiking as well as trail running?
Yes, the XT-6 GTX is designed for performance on trails, offering good grip and support that makes them suitable for both trail running and hiking.
Are these trainers true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between individuals. It is recommended to consult a size guide and, if possible, try them on to ensure the best fit, especially for UK sizing.
What does the 'Green Milieu' colour refer to?
'Green Milieu' is part of the specific colourway description, referring to a shade of green used in the design, alongside White and Ice Fl.
How long should I expect the waterproof feature to last?
The GTX membrane is durable, but its waterproof performance can be affected by wear and tear, and improper care. Regular cleaning and air drying will help maintain its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage despite GTX technology
Ensure laces are tightly secured and that the tongue is properly aligned. Check for any visible damage to the shoe's exterior or seams. If the issue persists, the waterproof membrane may be compromised.
Reduced breathability or feet feeling clammy
This can occur in very warm, humid conditions. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Allow the shoes to air out after use. For prolonged hot weather, consider a non-GTX model if breathability is paramount.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove embedded debris. Ensure the terrain does not exceed the intended capabilities of the trail-specific grip pattern. Replace the shoes if the tread is significantly worn down.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try adjusting the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually if they are new.

Care:
