FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, the XT-6 GTX features a GORE-TEX membrane which makes the shoe waterproof against rain and surface puddles.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While these are high-performance trainers, they are primarily designed for lifestyle, hiking, and light trail use; they are stiffer than dedicated road-running shoes.
How do I clean the beige colourway?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt and a mild detergent with water for any remaining stains, then allow to air dry away from direct sunlight.
Is the sizing consistent with other brands?
Salomon sizing can vary slightly; we recommend referring to the size guide and measuring your foot to ensure the correct UK size.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the stock insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Quick-lace system feels loose or slips
Check that the lace lock is clear of grit or debris and ensure the laces are tucked securely into the lace pocket.
Foot feels too hot during indoor use
The GORE-TEX membrane is designed to keep water out, which may reduce internal airflow; wear lighter, synthetic socks to improve moisture management.
Shoe feels stiff after purchase
The XT-6 GTX is built for stability; it requires approximately 10 to 20 miles of walking to properly break in the midsole cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your XT-6 GTX, ensure you allow the shoes to air dry naturally after exposure to heavy rain or mud; avoid using direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane or glue bonds. For cleaning, remove loose debris with a soft brush and wipe the surface with a damp cloth using mild soap. The fit is generally true-to-size for Salomon standards, but we recommend wearing moisture-wicking socks to complement the breathable-yet-waterproof lining. Check the lacing system regularly to ensure the quick-lace mechanism remains free of debris.
