FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane specifically designed to keep feet dry in wet, rainy conditions.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While the XT-6 is technically capable, it is designed primarily as a trail-to-street hybrid. It offers great stability, but runners seeking a dedicated road-racing shoe may prefer softer, more flexible options.
How do I clean the synthetic film?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, which can scratch the synthetic finish.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, Salomon provides replacement Quicklace kits if your laces wear out after extensive use.
Does the shoe fit true to size?
The XT-6 typically fits true to size, but the performance-focused, secure fit means it may feel snugger than a standard casual sneaker.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose after short activity
Ensure the lace slider is pushed fully down toward the tongue and the remaining cord is tucked securely in the storage pocket.
Feeling of stiffness in the sole
The XT-6 is built for stability; it requires a break-in period of 3-5 days of consistent use for the materials to soften naturally.
Condensation building inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks, as standard cotton socks retain sweat and interfere with the waterproof membrane's breathability.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Quicklace system allows for rapid adjustment
- Highly durable materials built for trails

Cons
- Requires a break-in period for maximum comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the Quicklace system by pulling evenly until the upper feels snug against the midfoot, then tuck the excess cord into the dedicated lace pocket to prevent snagging.
For care, avoid machine washing these trainers, as harsh detergents and high heat can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane. Instead, use a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove mud after use. If the interior gets wet, air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat may warp the chassis or damage the synthetic film.
