FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The XT-6 GTX features a performance-oriented fit. If you prefer a roomier feel, some users opt for a half-size larger, but generally, they fit standard for technical trainers.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While highly capable, these are designed as lifestyle trainers based on trail tech. For professional racing, Salomon offers dedicated lightweight running specific lines.
Is the GORE-TEX membrane fully waterproof?
Yes, it is designed to be highly waterproof while remaining breathable; however, it is not impervious to water entering over the top of the ankle collar.
How do I replace the laces?
The Quicklace system is proprietary; replacement kits are available through authorized Salomon retailers if the original laces become damaged.
Are they suitable for winter use?
Yes, the combination of the water-resistant upper and the aggressive Mud Contagrip makes them suitable for wet and light winter conditions.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too loose
Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged and the tension is distributed evenly across all eyelets before tucking the excess into the lace pocket.
Shoes feel tight after a long walk
Feet naturally swell during the day. Adjust the Quicklace slightly during your activity to accommodate changes in foot volume.
Reduced waterproof performance
Ensure the outer mesh is kept clean, as debris buildup can affect the breathability and performance of the GORE-TEX membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull the Quicklace™ system evenly across the eyelets to ensure tension is distributed across the top of the foot; tuck the excess lace into the dedicated tongue pocket. The shoes are compatible with standard athletic socks. For care, avoid machine washing. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
