FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the GTX designation indicates they feature a Gore-Tex membrane designed to provide high-level water resistance.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can be worn on roads, the outsole is designed for trail traction and will wear down faster on hard pavement.
How do I replace the laces if they break?
Salomon uses a specific Quicklace system, and replacement kits can be purchased and installed by threading them through the existing eyelets.
Do I need to break these in?
Like most technical footwear, it is recommended to wear them for shorter walks before heading out on long, strenuous hikes to ensure a comfortable fit.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during activity.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace feels too loose while hiking
Ensure the toggle is pushed firmly down after tightening and tuck the excess lace into the dedicated lace pocket on the tongue.
Feeling damp inside after long use
While waterproof, extreme saturation can allow water in through the top; ensure your gaiters or pants cover the ankle opening in heavy rain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon Xt-6 Gtx trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the Quicklace toggle until the fit feels snug across the instep without cutting off circulation.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the waterproof membrane and upper materials from degrading.
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud with a soft brush after use. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers as this can damage the Gore-Tex layer.
- Air Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space, stuffed with paper if necessary to help hold their shape.
