FAQs
Is the Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX fully waterproof?
Yes, it features a GORE-TEX membrane which provides comprehensive protection against rain and puddles, keeping the interior dry.
Can these be used for technical trail running?
While originally designed for elite trail runners in 2013, they are now popular as versatile lifestyle shoes that maintain their trail-ready performance capabilities.
How should I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Gently clean the surface with water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh detergents that can degrade the membrane's waterproof coating.
Are these shoes true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing, but because of the specialized ACS chassis and performance fit, some users prefer a half-size larger if they plan to wear thick hiking socks.
What is the benefit of the ACS chassis?
The Agile Chassis System provides stability and shock absorption, helping to reduce fatigue during extended periods of walking or running.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose after walking
Ensure the lace toggle is fully pushed down against the tongue and the excess lace is tucked securely into the lace pocket.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the mesh when dry, then wipe with a damp cloth; do not submerge in a washing machine.

- Easy and quick lacing adjustment system

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the Quicklace tension so the foot is held securely without pinching. Store any excess lace in the dedicated tongue pocket. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from direct heat sources when drying, as extreme heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane. Clean the exterior using a soft brush and lukewarm water after use in muddy conditions. To preserve the waterproof functionality, ensure the mesh is kept free of excessive dirt build-up.
