FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 Gore-Tex suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, they are very suitable for everyday walking and commuting due to their durable cushioning and supportive design.
How do I clean the XT-6 Gore-Tex shoes?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from heat. Avoid machine washing.
Are these shoes true to size?
The XT-6 Gore-Tex generally runs true to size, but it's recommended to check sizing charts and consider a break-in period for optimal fit.
Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?
While waterproof, they may be warmer than non-waterproofed shoes in very hot conditions due to the Gore-Tex membrane. They are best suited for moderate to cool temperatures or wet conditions.
What is the main benefit of the Gore-Tex membrane?
The Gore-Tex membrane provides superior waterproofing and breathability, keeping your feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape.
How durable is the Contagrip® outsole?
The Contagrip® outsole is designed for high durability and excellent traction across a wide range of surfaces, making it suitable for both trails and urban use.
What is the purpose of the ACS (Agile Chassis System)?
The ACS provides stability and support by controlling the shoe's flex and ensuring efficient energy transfer, enhancing performance on uneven terrain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable on first wear.
The XT-6 Gore-Tex may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the Quicklace™ system is not overtightened.
Water seeping into the shoe despite Gore-Tex.
Check that the laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly positioned. Ensure there are no tears or damage to the shoe upper or Gore-Tex membrane. Clean the exterior of the shoe.
Poor traction on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the Contagrip® outsole is free from excessive mud or debris. The effectiveness of the grip depends on the surface conditions; extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge.
Laces not staying secure.
Ensure the plastic toggle on the Quicklace™ system is fully engaged. If the lace system shows signs of wear, contact Salomon customer support for replacement parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers are designed for immediate use. Simply unbox them and ensure the Quicklace™ system is adjusted to your preference for a secure fit.
Compatibility: The Salomon XT-6 Gore-Tex is compatible with most standard athletic socks. While designed for rugged use, they are equally suited for casual wear with jeans or shorts.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The Gore-Tex membrane is highly durable. Periodic cleaning will help maintain its breathability and waterproof properties. Do not use waxes or sprays not intended for Gore-Tex materials.
