FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The SALOMON XT-6 originates from trail running heritage but is now primarily designed as a lifestyle and urban exploration sneaker. While comfortable for light activities and walking, it is not optimized as a dedicated performance running shoe for intense or long-distance runs.
How do I choose the correct size?
The XT-6 generally fits true to size. We recommend trying your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider referring to a size guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you have wider feet.
Can I wash my SALOMON XT-6 in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for leather footwear, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow manual cleaning instructions for leather and textile shoes.
Is the XT-6 waterproof?
The standard SALOMON XT-6 (White, UK 12) is not explicitly marketed as waterproof. While the leather material offers some natural resistance to light splashes, it is not designed to be submerged or to provide full waterproof protection. For enhanced water resistance, consider applying a suitable leather protector spray.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort, especially during warmer weather or extended wear, we recommend wearing athletic socks made from breathable, moisture-wicking materials. This will help manage sweat and prevent discomfort.
Troubleshooting
My XT-6 feels a bit stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal for new footwear, especially leather. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to break in and conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, double-check your sizing.
The white leather is getting dirty easily.
White shoes require more frequent cleaning. For surface dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth immediately. For deeper marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow its instructions. Consider applying a leather protector spray before first wear.
The laces seem to come undone frequently.
Ensure you are tying your laces securely. Consider using a 'surgeon's knot' or a double knot for increased security, especially during active use. You might also want to explore different lacing techniques for a tighter fit.
My feet feel warm or sweaty.
While the XT-6 provides comfort, wearing appropriate socks made of moisture-wicking materials can significantly improve ventilation and reduce sweat build-up. Ensure your shoes are not overly tight.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your white leather SALOMON XT-6:
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, wipe down any visible dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For more stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product instructions carefully.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for white leather.
