FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, while designed for performance, their distinctive style and comfort make them suitable for everyday wear, especially for those who prefer an active or technical aesthetic.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Salomon or the retailer. The XT-6 GTX is available in specific UK men's sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart, or try them on if possible, as fits can vary.
Can these trainers be used for hiking?
Absolutely. The XT-6 GTX is well-suited for hiking due to its durable construction, excellent grip, and GORE-TEX waterproofing, providing support and protection on various trails.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing last?
With proper care, the GORE-TEX membrane is designed for long-lasting waterproof performance. Periodic cleaning and reapplication of water-repellent treatments can help maintain its effectiveness.
What is the difference between XT-6 and XT-6 GTX?
The 'GTX' designation signifies that the shoe features GORE-TEX waterproofing, offering enhanced protection against wet conditions compared to the standard XT-6 model.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or other preferred insoles for added comfort or support.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen
Ensure the Quicklace™ system is clean and free of debris. Check that the cord lock is functioning correctly. If damaged, contact customer support.
Water seeping into the shoes
Inspect the GORE-TEX membrane for any tears or damage. Clean the shoes and reapply a suitable waterproofing spray. Ensure laces are tied tightly and the tongue is properly positioned.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. The specific tread pattern is designed for mixed terrain; extreme smoothness may limit grip.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the Quicklace™ system for a more even distribution of pressure. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness using the Quicklace™ system. Ensure the laces are tucked into the lace pocket to prevent snagging.
Compatibility: The XT-6 GTX is designed for use on a variety of terrains, from technical trails to urban environments. They are compatible with most weather conditions due to their waterproof nature.
Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your XT-6 GTX trainers:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing: Periodically re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the upper materials to ensure the GORE-TEX membrane remains effective.
