FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the materials are durable, they are not fully waterproof; it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray if you frequently walk in rainy conditions.
Are these true to size?
Most users find them to be true to standard sizing, though those with wider feet may prefer to move up by half a size.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While highly capable, they are primarily designed as lifestyle-performance trainers rather than dedicated high-mileage road racing shoes.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a sponge with mild soapy water, scrub gently, and rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
Do these shoes come with a specific warranty?
Salomon offers a standard manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the provided insole can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped initially
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-tie to distribute pressure more evenly across the bridge of the foot.
Visible dirt accumulation in crevices
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the outsole tread and upper mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your XT-6 SHADOW trainers, start by ensuring you have the correct UK size. If you plan on using these for hiking, consider wearing mid-weight technical socks for a precise fit. Maintenance is simple: wipe away dried mud or debris with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the specialized fabric treatments. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and structural integrity of the upper.
