FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides a waterproof barrier, though water can still enter from the top of the ankle opening.
Can I use these for road running?
While durable enough for roads, they are primarily designed as trail trainers and provide a stiffer feel than traditional road running shoes.
How do I replace the Quicklace if it breaks?
Salomon offers replacement Quicklace kits that can be threaded through the existing lace loops, allowing you to restore the system without replacing the whole shoe.
How should I store these when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the materials from fading or becoming brittle over time.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Generally, yes, but because they feature a specialized chassis for stability, some users prefer a half-size up if they plan to wear thick hiking socks.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too loose after walking
Ensure the lace lock toggle is pushed fully down against the tongue and that the excess lace is securely stored in the lace pocket.
Waterproofing seems less effective over time
Dirt buildup can block the breathable pores of the membrane; gently wash the exterior to remove debris and mud to restore performance.
Foot discomfort during long walks
Check that the internal OrthoLite sockliner is positioned correctly and not bunched up; re-adjust the Quicklace tension for a more ergonomic fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your XT-6 GTX trainers, begin by adjusting the Quicklace system; pull the lace evenly to distribute tension across the foot and tuck the plastic toggle into the dedicated lace pocket to prevent snagging. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior using lukewarm water and mild soap; avoid harsh detergents that may damage the waterproof membrane. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or compromise the GORE-TEX bonding.
