FAQs

Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers suitable for road running?

While they offer excellent cushioning, the XT-6 GTX is primarily designed for trail and mixed terrain. The Contagrip® outsole provides superior grip on natural surfaces, which may feel less efficient or durable on asphalt compared to dedicated road running shoes.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The trainers should feel snug around the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle slightly. Use the Quicklace™ system to achieve a secure fit. It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you plan to wear.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, the waterproof membrane, and the adhesives. Hand wash them with mild soap and water as described in the care instructions.

How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofness typically last?

With proper care, the GORE-TEX membrane's waterproof and breathable properties can last for the practical lifetime of the shoe. Regular cleaning and drying help maintain its performance.

What is the difference between the XT-6 and other Salomon models?

The XT-6 is known for its balance of cushioning, stability, and protection, originally designed for ultra-distance trail racing. It often features a lower stack height and a more responsive feel compared to some other Salomon trail shoes.

Is the fit true to size for UK 11.5?

Salomon footwear generally runs true to size. However, individual foot shapes vary. It's always best to consult a size chart and consider trying them on if possible, especially when ordering for the first time.

Troubleshooting

Laces won't tighten or loosen properly.

Ensure the Quicklace™ toggle is fully engaged. Check for any debris in the lacing system mechanism. If persistent, consult the Salomon website for specific Quicklace™ troubleshooting guides.

Water ingress despite GORE-TEX membrane.

Verify that all seams and the tongue area are sealed. Ensure the laces are tightened sufficiently to prevent water from entering over the top. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane.

Discomfort or blisters during wear.

Ensure the correct size is being worn and the Quicklace™ system is adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Try wearing different types of socks, such as moisture-wicking ones. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before longer excursions.

Reduced traction on surfaces.

Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove mud or debris that might be clogging the lugs. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear, which may indicate the need for replacement.

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane.
  • Superior grip and traction on diverse surfaces.
  • Comfortable and supportive for long wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Adjust the Quicklace™ system by pulling the toggle to tighten and pressing the release mechanism to loosen. Tuck the excess lace into the lace pocket on the tongue.
  2. Fit: Ensure the SensiFit™ cradles your foot comfortably without being too restrictive.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for a wide range of activities, including trail running, hiking, and everyday casual wear. They are compatible with most standard sock types.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Drying: Air dry thoroughly at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is completely dry before storage.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect from dust and damage.
