Product Information
Full details
The Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX is a high-performance trainer designed for individuals seeking a reliable shoe that bridges the gap between rugged trail utility and versatile urban wear. It excels by providing superior weather protection through its integrated GORE-TEX membrane and secure footing on diverse surfaces via the Mud contaGRIP outsole; however, the structured, performance-oriented fit may require a brief break-in period for those accustomed to softer, casual sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane which provides a highly effective barrier against water while maintaining breathability.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
They are designed for trail-inspired performance and offer the stability and traction needed for varied terrains, though they are lighter than traditional heavy-duty hiking boots.
How do I secure the excess laces?
The tongue of the shoe features a lace pocket specifically designed to store the QuickLACE toggle and excess cord neatly.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The SensiFIT construction is designed for a precise, snug fit. If you have wider feet, you may prefer to size up by half a size for added comfort.
How often should I clean the outsoles?
It is recommended to clean them after every muddy or off-road session to maintain the integrity and grip of the contaGRIP lugs.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the tension via the QuickLACE toggle and redistribute the pressure by manually pulling the lace loops starting from the bottom eyelets upward.
Outer material showing signs of water saturation
The exterior DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the shoes thoroughly and apply a GORE-TEX-compatible DWR spray.
Squeaking sounds during walking
Remove the OrthoLite sockliner, clean any trapped debris from the cavity, and ensure the insole is completely dry before reinserting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your XT-6 GORE-TEX trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the QuickLACE system so the shoe feels snug across the midfoot without being constricting. Ensure the lace locker is tucked into the dedicated pocket on the tongue.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after trail use. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as this can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Care: Re-apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for synthetic footwear if you notice water no longer beads off the surface after prolonged heavy use.
