FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers truly waterproof?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane provides reliable waterproof protection, keeping your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape.
How do I clean my XT-6 GTX shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for cleaning. Air dry thoroughly away from heat.
What is the purpose of the Quicklace™ system?
The Quicklace™ system allows for fast, one-pull tightening and loosening of the laces, providing a secure and customizable fit without traditional knots.
Can I use these trainers for everyday walking?
Yes, the XT-6 GTX is designed for versatility and offers sufficient cushioning and support for comfortable everyday wear in addition to trail running.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between individuals. It's recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible. Some users find they fit true to size, while others suggest going up half a size for thicker socks.
How durable is the outsole?
The Contagrip® outsole is engineered for durability and high traction, designed to withstand abrasion from various terrains.
Will my feet get hot in these due to the Gore-Tex?
While Gore-Tex offers breathability, the waterproof membrane can sometimes make feet warmer in hot conditions compared to non-waterproof shoes. However, for most mixed-weather conditions, the breathability is sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoe
Ensure the Gore-Tex membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that laces are fully tightened and the lace lock is secured. Clean any debris from the shoe's opening. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may be compromised.
Quicklace™ system not tightening properly
Inspect the laces for fraying or damage. Ensure the lace lock is clean and free of debris. Try re-threading the lace through the lock mechanism. If the lace is worn, it may need replacement.
Discomfort or pressure points
Allow the shoes to break in gradually with shorter wears. Ensure correct sizing. Try adjusting the Quicklace™ system for a more personalized fit. Consider using different socks to alter the internal volume.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that might be clogging the tread. Ensure the shoe is the correct type for the conditions; while good, extreme wet surfaces may require specialized footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The XT-6 GTX features a Quicklace™ system. To put them on, loosen the laces by pulling the eyelets apart, slide your foot in, and then pull the lace lock upwards to tighten. Tuck the excess lace into the EndoFit™ sleeve for a secure fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for multi-terrain use, compatible with a wide range of surfaces including trails, rocky paths, forests, and urban environments. They are suitable for adult unisex sizing.
Care: To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, focusing on the mesh and outsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Regularly check the Quicklace™ system for wear and tear.
