FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the 'GTX' in the model name indicates they are equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane for waterproof protection.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
They are designed for technical environments and offer excellent support, making them well-suited for light trails and varied terrain, though specific ultra-hiking needs may vary.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The Salomon XT-6 GTX generally fits true to size. If you plan to wear thicker hiking socks, you may want to consider a half-size larger than your standard casual shoe.
Are these suitable for winter wear?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane and robust sole provide good protection against wet and cold conditions, though they are not specifically insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the synthetic materials.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective after heavy use
Ensure the exterior fabric is clean of mud and debris, as trapped dirt can impede the breathable-waterproof function. Re-treating the upper with a DWR spray can also restore water repellency.
Foot discomfort during initial use
The XT-6 GTX is a high-performance, structured trainer; allow for a break-in period of 3-5 days of consistent wear to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers, keep them away from intense heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and Gore-Tex performance. For sizing, these follow standard adult sizing, but due to the structured upper, ensure you verify your fit with thin-to-medium weight socks. To clean, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap; never submerge the shoes completely in water or put them in a washing machine, as this can damage the structural integrity of the materials.
