FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX suitable for running?
Yes, they are designed for trail running and offer good cushioning, grip, and waterproofing, making them suitable for various running conditions.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
The GORE-TEX membrane itself requires no special cleaning. Regular cleaning of the shoe with a damp cloth and mild soap is sufficient to maintain its performance. Ensure all dirt and residue are rinsed off.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
While the GORE-TEX membrane offers breathability, it is primarily designed for waterproof protection. In very hot and humid conditions, your feet might feel warmer compared to a non-waterproof shoe. They are best suited for moderate to cool temperatures or wet conditions.
What is the difference between XT-6 and XT-6 GORE-TEX?
The primary difference is the inclusion of a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane in the XT-6 GORE-TEX version, offering enhanced protection against water and wind compared to the standard XT-6.
How do I care for the quickLACE system?
The quickLACE system requires minimal care. Keep the laces clean and ensure the knot mechanism is free from debris. If the laces become frayed, they can be replaced.
Are these shoes true to size?
Salomon footwear generally runs true to size. However, fit can be subjective. It is recommended to check sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible, especially if you plan to wear thick socks.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into shoes
Ensure laces are fully tightened and the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Check for damage to the shoe's seams or materials. Clean the shoes as per care instructions, as accumulated dirt can affect membrane performance.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the Mud contaGRIP outsole thoroughly to remove any trapped debris that might be preventing optimal grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn.
Laces won't stay tightened
Ensure the quickLACE knot is tied securely. If the lace itself is frayed or damaged, it may need replacement.
Feet feel uncomfortable or have hot spots
Adjust the quickLACE system for a more even fit, ensuring the Sensifit system is snug but not constricting. Consider using the included molded OrthoLite sockliner or a compatible aftermarket insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The XT-6 GORE-TEX features a quickLACE system. To secure, pull the laces upwards and tuck the excess lace into the SensiFit pocket on the tongue.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for a wide range of activities including trail running, hiking, and everyday wear. They are compatible with most weather conditions due to the GORE-TEX membrane.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove mud and debris from the lugs.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable, but regular cleaning will help maintain its performance. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
