FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are performance trainers, they are designed with a secure fit in mind.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can be worn on roads, the deep lug design is specifically optimized for soft, technical trail surfaces.
How do I tighten the laces?
Pull the cord lock upward to loosen, adjust the fit across the foot, then pull the lock back down to secure it.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner can be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Can these be worn in winter?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent protection against snow and slush, making them a great choice for cold-weather activity.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the tension by manually sliding the quickLACE toggle or redistributing the lace pressure across the eyelets before final tightening.
Foot discomfort during long runs
Check that the OrthoLite sockliner is properly seated and consider re-adjusting the lace tension; ensure you are wearing appropriately thick hiking socks.
Waterproof performance seems diminished
Ensure the exterior is free from caked mud and debris, which can impede the breathability of the GORE-TEX membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX starts with the initial fit. Because of the technical structure, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks. To tighten, simply pull the `quickLACE` toggle and slide the locking mechanism down toward the tongue. For care, avoid machine washing. Remove excess mud with a soft brush after each use and allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated space away from direct heat sources, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane. If the interior becomes damp, stuff with newspaper to draw out moisture effectively.
