FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers true to size?
Sizing can vary. Many users find them to run slightly narrow or small. It is recommended to check sizing charts and consider trying them on, or ordering a half-size up if you have wider feet.
Can I wear these trainers in hot weather?
While the GORE-TEX provides breathability, they are designed for protection against the elements. In very hot and humid conditions, they might feel warmer than non-waterproof trainers. However, for mixed conditions, they perform well.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane is within the shoe's lining. Regular cleaning of the exterior with mild soap and water is sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
What is the difference between XT-6 and XT-6 GTX?
The 'GTX' designation indicates that the XT-6 GTX model features a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, offering enhanced protection against water, while the standard XT-6 may not have this feature.
Are these suitable for everyday casual wear?
Yes, the XT-6 GTX trainers are popular for both performance activities and casual wear due to their distinctive design and comfort. Their technical features also make them a durable choice for daily use.
What is the lifespan of the Contagrip® outsole?
The lifespan of the Contagrip® outsole depends on usage intensity and terrain. With regular use on mixed surfaces, it is designed for durability, but wear will naturally occur over time.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tight
Ensure the Quicklace knot is securely tied. If the lace lock seems loose, check for any debris obstructing it or consider replacing the lace system if damaged.
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Ensure socks are not pulling moisture from inside the shoe, and that the tongue and laces are properly adjusted to prevent water ingress from the top.
Soles feel slippery
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be reducing traction. For prolonged wear on very specific surfaces, consider the limitations of any all-terrain outsole.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing thicker socks, or adjust the lacing pattern. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The XT-6 GTX trainers require minimal setup. Ensure you have the correct size; if the fit feels tight, consider if a larger size is needed. The Quicklace system can be adjusted by pulling the laces tight and tucking the excess into the lace pocket on the tongue.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use. They are suitable for a wide range of activities from trail running to casual wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While GORE-TEX is durable, regularly clean the shoes to maintain the membrane's performance. For specific care products, consult Salomon's official recommendations.
