FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides complete waterproof protection while remaining breathable.

How do I tighten the laces?

The XT-6 uses a Quicklace system; simply pull the lace toggle until the desired tension is achieved and slide the locking mechanism into place.

Can I use these for long-distance running?

While highly capable, they are designed as high-performance lifestyle trainers. They provide excellent support for walking and light hiking, but running performance depends on individual biomechanics.

Are they true to size?

Salomon trainers generally follow standard sizing; however, since these include a waterproof membrane, some users prefer a half-size larger to accommodate thicker socks.

How should I store the shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to preserve the waterproof membrane and material quality.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace feels too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the toggle to loosen the lace tension across the midfoot and ensure the lace is evenly distributed through the eyelets.

Foot feels too hot or damp

Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks and that the shoe is not being worn in temperatures exceeding its intended range.

Outsole collecting debris

While the outsole handles mud well, use a stiff brush to clear the geometrical lugs if buildup begins to impede traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully waterproof protection for all-weather use
  • Highly durable construction with protective TPU film
  • Quicklace system allows for rapid and secure adjustments
  • Excellent traction provided by aggressive lugged outsole
  • Comfortable interior thanks to OrthoLite technology

Cons

  • Structured design may require a short break-in period
  • Not intended for extreme heat due to waterproof membrane
  • Technical aesthetic may not fit all professional dress codes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, utilize the Quicklace system to achieve a snug wrap around the midfoot; avoid over-tightening to maintain proper circulation. These trainers are compatible with standard athletic socks but perform best with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool blends. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the TPU overlays. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
