FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane which provides comprehensive protection against water penetration while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
The XT-6 is highly capable for varied terrain and light-to-moderate hiking, offering excellent support and traction.
How should I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid harsh soaps or machine washing to maintain the waterproof integrity.
Is the fit true to size?
Generally, Salomon trainers fit true to size, but the performance-oriented design is snug. If you prefer a thicker sock, consider sizing up by half a size.
Are these suitable for winter wear?
Yes, the waterproof properties and traction make them a great choice for damp or slushy winter conditions.
What is the best way to dry them if they get soaked?
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture from the inside. Air dry in a cool, ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight or restricted
Try adjusting the lacing tension; the XT-6 utilizes a specific lacing system that can be loosened across the midfoot to accommodate different foot volumes.
Visible dirt accumulation on the outer mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud before wiping with a damp cloth to avoid scratching the surface materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. When fitting your trainers for the first time, ensure you have approximately a thumb-width of space in the toe box to account for foot swelling during activity. To clean the exterior, wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after muddy excursions to prevent debris from hardening on the synthetic upper. Avoid putting your trainers in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane and the adhesives holding the shoe together. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators.
