FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature Gore-Tex technology, which makes them highly water-resistant and suitable for wet conditions.
Are these shoes true to size?
Salomon trainers generally fit true to size, but since they are technical shoes, they have a secure, performance-oriented fit. Consider this if you prefer extra room in the toe box.
Can I use these for heavy trail running?
While they are rugged and stable, they are designed as technical trainers. They perform best on moderate trails and urban environments rather than technical mountain climbing.
How do I maintain the Gore-Tex membrane?
Keep the shoes clean of mud and grit, which can act as an abrasive. Regularly wiping them down preserves the breathability and waterproof performance.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly stiff during the first wear
This is normal for technical trainers. Wear them for 2-3 hours at a time over a few days to soften the materials.
Difficulty cleaning debris from the tread
Use a soft, dry bristle brush to clear the outsole grooves after the mud has dried.
Water appears to be seeping in during heavy submersion
Ensure the shoe is tied correctly. While Gore-Tex is highly resistant to water, it is not designed for total submersion where water can enter from the top.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the chassis and upper materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Sizing: These shoes are unisex; ensure you consult the size guide carefully, as they are measured in UK sizing.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the Gore-Tex membrane and structural adhesives.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the materials to stiffen or warp.
