FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, the GTX in the name indicates they are equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane, making them fully waterproof and breathable.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While durable and supportive, they are generally categorized as rugged trail trainers rather than dedicated lightweight racing shoes.
How should I clean the Gore-Tex membrane?
Use warm water and a mild soap if necessary, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the water-repellent coating.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Like most high-performance trainers, they may feel stiff initially. Wearing them for shorter walks before intense activity will help the materials adapt to your foot shape.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, this specific model is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for a wide range of foot types.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Salomon trainers generally follow standard sizing; we recommend checking your UK size and ensuring there is about a half-inch of space in the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty achieving a comfortable lacing tension
Adjust the Quicklace system evenly across the eyelets to distribute pressure, ensuring it is not overtightened at the bottom.
Reduced breathability in hot conditions
While the GTX membrane is breathable, it is optimized for waterproofing; ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic socks rather than cotton.
Build-up of debris in the tread
Use a soft brush or a pressurized stream of water to clear out rocks or mud trapped in the lugs to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-6 GTX, proper maintenance is essential.
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks for your activity to match the shoe's internal volume.
- Cleaning: After use in muddy or dusty conditions, gently brush off debris. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior; avoid machine washing as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the materials and degrade the adhesive bonding.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup inside the shoe.
