FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable and versatile, the XT-6 GTX is engineered for performance in running and hiking. For everyday casual wear, they might be more robust than necessary, but their comfort and style make them a popular choice for many.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to Salomon's official sizing chart and measure your foot length. The UK 9.5 is a specific size; ensure it matches your foot measurement for the best fit. Consider trying them on if possible.
Can I use these in snow?
The GTX waterproofing offers protection against moisture, and the Contagrip® outsole provides good traction on various surfaces, including packed snow. However, they are not insulated winter boots and may not provide sufficient warmth in very cold conditions.
What is the benefit of the 'GTX' designation?
GTX stands for Gore-Tex, indicating that the footwear features a waterproof and breathable membrane, which keeps your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape.
How often should I re-waterproof the shoes?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or your feet are getting damp in wet conditions, it's likely time to reapply a waterproofing treatment.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The XT-6 generally offers a snug, performance-oriented fit. While the Quicklace system allows for some adjustment, individuals with very wide feet might find them restrictive. Checking reviews or trying them on is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tight
Ensure the excess lace is securely tucked into the lace pocket. If the Quicklace mechanism feels loose, inspect it for debris and clean gently.
Feet feel wet despite GTX
Check for any visible tears or damage to the Gore-Tex membrane. Ensure the tongue is properly seated to prevent water ingress. The shoes may require re-waterproofing if the effect has diminished.
Slipping on wet surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole of mud or debris, as this can impede traction. The sole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions may still pose challenges.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase the time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape.
