FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers waterproof?
Yes, they feature Gore-Tex (GTX) technology, which is designed to keep your feet dry in wet weather conditions.
How do I clean my XT-6 GTX shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt, or hand wash with cool water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing.
Can I use these for road running?
While durable enough for roads, they are primarily designed for trails and mixed terrain due to the aggressive lug pattern.
How does the Quicklace system work?
The system uses a sliding toggle that locks the laces in place once pulled to your preferred tightness.
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the XT-6 series to be consistent with standard sizing, but if you wear thick hiking socks, you may want to consider a half-size larger.
What is the primary difference between the XT-6 and XT-6 GTX?
The GTX version includes a waterproof Gore-Tex lining, whereas the standard XT-6 focuses on maximum breathability without the waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too loose during activity
Ensure the lace is pulled taut through all eyelets and the slider lock is firmly engaged before tucking the excess into the tongue pocket.
Outer material shows signs of dirt build-up
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and dust. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe clean.
Foot feels too hot or damp inside
Verify that your socks are moisture-wicking and not made of 100% cotton, which traps perspiration inside the waterproof membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your XT-6 GTX trainers, ensure you are utilizing the Quicklace system correctly by tucking the slider into the integrated lace pocket on the tongue. Before your first outing, consider testing the fit with the type of socks you intend to use for activities to ensure proper volume inside the shoe. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the Gore-Tex membrane and synthetic bonding. Instead, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush after your activity. If the shoes become very muddy, hand wash them in lukewarm water with a mild soap. Always air-dry in a cool, shaded area, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
