Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT-6 GTX is a high-performance trainer designed for individuals seeking a reliable, technical shoe that bridges the gap between rugged outdoor utility and modern urban style. These trainers excel at providing consistent foot support and weather-resistant protection for daily wear and active use, though their specialized construction may feel stiffer than standard casual sneakers for those unused to performance footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the Salomon XT-6 GTX features a GORE-TEX membrane, which provides high-level waterproof protection while allowing some breathability.
Are these suitable for running?
While these are high-performance trainers with great stability, they are primarily designed for versatile daily use and walking rather than specialized long-distance running.
How should I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoe in water or using harsh detergents, as this can affect the waterproofing treatment.
Do they fit true to size?
Generally, yes. Salomon shoes are engineered with a consistent fit, but we recommend measuring your foot to match the UK sizing provided.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
What is the best way to dry them if they get soaked?
Remove the insoles, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Wear them indoors for short intervals over several days to allow the upper materials to soften and conform to your foot.
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking technical socks; while GORE-TEX is waterproof, breathability is dependent on the moisture management of your sock choice.
Outer shell appears dusty or dull
Use a soft brush to gently remove loose debris and wipe with a microfiber cloth dipped in mild soapy water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers last, proper care is essential.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth after use. If they get muddy, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the adhesives.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow the supportive chassis to adapt to your foot shape.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most, but ensure you select the correct UK size relative to your foot's width to maximize the benefit of the stable heel cup.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the weatherproofing membrane.
