Product Information
Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane designed to keep your feet dry in harsh, wet conditions.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While highly capable, the XT-6 is more geared towards technical trail performance and everyday lifestyle wear rather than lightweight road racing.
How do I maintain the GORE-TEX membrane?
Keep the exterior clean from dirt and oils. If the water-repellency fades, you can use a DWR-safe spray to refresh the exterior coating.
Is the sizing true to size?
Most users find they fit standard, but because they have a performance-oriented fit, some prefer going up a half size if they have wider feet.
What surfaces are the lugs best for?
The Contagrip outsole with geometrical lugs is optimized for technical terrain, including wet trails, rocky paths, and uneven surfaces.
Can I machine wash my XT-6 trainers?
No, machine washing can damage the structural overlays and the GORE-TEX membrane. Always clean by hand using a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels uncomfortable or slides
Ensure the OrthoLite liner is correctly seated flat at the base of the shoe. If the issue persists, consider replacing it with an aftermarket insole.
Outer mesh appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the closed mesh, ensuring you do not use harsh chemicals that could damage the GORE-TEX membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-6 remains in peak condition, consider these care tips:
- Fitting: The XT-6 provides a performance fit; ensure you wear the type of socks you intend to use on trails to get an accurate sizing feel.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush after use. If the shoes are muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water for long periods.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the TPU films and adhesive components.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the synthetic materials.
