Salomon XT-6 - Black - UK 11

While rooted in Salomon's trail-running legacy and offering excellent stability and grip, the XT-6 GORE-TEX is a highly versatile shoe also popular as a durable everyday sneaker. For highly technical or competitive trail running, Salomon offers other specialized models. These are excellent for light to moderate trails and urban exploration.

Clean off loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents. Always air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

Yes, the GORE-TEX ePE membrane provides durable waterproof and breathable protection, designed to keep your feet dry in rainy and wet conditions, provided water does not enter through the top opening of the shoe.

Quicklace™ is Salomon's minimalistic and strong lacing system for one-pull tightening. To secure, pull the lace tight and slide the locker down. To loosen, press the button on the locker and slide it up. This system allows for quick and precise adjustments.

The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for breathability across various temperatures. However, like all waterproof footwear, they may feel warmer than non-waterproof mesh shoes in very hot and humid conditions. They are most optimal in moderate to cool, wet environments.

Ensure your foot feels snug but not constricted, with enough room to wiggle your toes comfortably. Salomon typically fits true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. We recommend trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear.

The lifespan of your XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes depends heavily on usage frequency, terrain, and proper care. With good maintenance and regular use, they are designed for durability and longevity thanks to their robust construction and quality materials.

Adjust the Quicklace™ system. Pull the lace tighter for a snug fit or press the release button on the lace locker and slide it down to loosen. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the activity.

Ensure your socks are breathable and moisture-wicking. In extremely humid or hot conditions, GORE-TEX can sometimes struggle to vent all perspiration. Check if water is entering from the top opening (e.g., from deep puddles or rain running down legs) or if there are any punctures in the membrane from damage.

While Mud Contagrip provides excellent traction on varied terrains, no sole is universally slip-proof. Exercise caution on extremely wet, smooth, or icy surfaces. Regularly clean the outsole to prevent debris buildup that might reduce grip.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the OrthoLite® insole, cleaning the inside of the shoe and the insole, then reinserting it. A light application of talcum powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.
