FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers suitable for wide feet?
The XT-6 GTX features a relatively standard fit. While the Quicklace system allows for some adjustment, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on or consulting size charts is recommended.
How do I clean the Gore-Tex material?
Gore-Tex itself is best cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the membrane or the shoe's other materials.
What is the main advantage of the Contagrip outsole?
The Contagrip outsole is designed to provide optimal traction on a variety of surfaces, ensuring stability and grip whether you are on wet, dry, hard, or loose ground.
Can I wear these trainers in hot weather?
The trainers feature Gore-Tex and mesh uppers, offering a balance of waterproofing and breathability. While they are more breathable than fully waterproof boots, they may be warmer than non-waterproof trainers in extreme heat.
How durable is the Quicklace system?
The Quicklace system is engineered for durability and ease of use. It's designed to withstand repeated tightening and loosening during outdoor activities.
What is the purpose of the OrthoLite Sockliner?
The OrthoLite Sockliner provides extra cushioning for enhanced comfort, improved shock absorption, and better moisture management to keep feet drier.
Troubleshooting
Laces not tightening properly
Check the Quicklace system for any debris or obstructions. Ensure the lace is threaded correctly through the lock mechanism. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.
Feet feeling wet despite Gore-Tex
Ensure the shoe is not submerged for extended periods. Check for any punctures or damage to the Gore-Tex membrane. Condensation can also occur during intense activity; ensure proper sock choice.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the Quicklace tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods before long excursions.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the Contagrip outsole to remove mud or debris that might be hindering traction. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; if significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your XT-6 GTX Trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Ensure the shoe is completely dry before storing.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the tread on the Contagrip outsole for wear. Ensure the Quicklace system remains free of debris for smooth operation.
