FAQs
Do these shoes run true to size?
No, the SALOMON XT-6 GTX trainers run small. It is recommended to size up by at least half a size for a more accurate fit.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, while built for trail running, their stability, cushioning, and durable construction make them comfortable and practical for everyday urban use.
How do I clean the Gore-Tex ePE membrane?
Gently wipe the membrane with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents, as they can degrade the material. Allow to air dry.
What does 'PFC-free' mean for the Gore-Tex membrane?
PFC-free means the membrane does not contain per- or polyfluorinated chemicals, which are more environmentally friendly alternatives for waterproofing.
Can I replace the Quicklace™ system if it breaks?
Yes, replacement Quicklace™ systems and lace locks are available from SALOMON or authorized retailers.
What is the primary advantage of the Downhill Chassis?
The Downhill Chassis is designed to provide enhanced stability and control when descending slopes, offering confidence on technical terrain.
Are these shoes suitable for winter conditions?
The waterproof Gore-Tex ePE membrane provides protection against wetness, making them suitable for damp winter conditions. However, they are not insulated for extreme cold.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small.
As these shoes run small, consider purchasing a half or full size larger than your usual. Ensure the Quicklace™ system is not overtightened.
Water seeping into the shoes.
Check that the Gore-Tex ePE membrane is intact and that the laces are properly secured within the lace pocket and not compromising the seal. Ensure the shoe is not submerged beyond the waterproof collar.
Reduced grip on surfaces.
Clean the outsole lugs to remove mud or debris that may be impeding traction. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear; if significantly worn, consider replacement.
Quicklace™ system not holding tension.
Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged. If the laces themselves are worn or damaged, they may need to be replaced.
