FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes feature integrated GORE-TEX waterproof protection, designed to keep your feet dry in various wet conditions, from rain to shallow puddles.

How do I maintain the GORE-TEX waterproofing?

To maintain waterproofing, regularly clean the shoes and allow them to air dry. You can also periodically apply a GORE-TEX compatible Durable Water Repellent (DWR) spray to the outer fabric to enhance its water-shedding properties.

Can I replace the Quicklace system if it breaks?

Salomon offers Quicklace repair kits, and the system is designed to be replaceable. For assistance or to obtain a repair kit, contact Salomon customer support or an authorized retailer.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

Thanks to the All Terrain Contagrip® Outsole and Agile Chassis™ System, these shoes are excellent for varied terrain, including technical trails, rocky paths, soft ground, and also perform well on urban surfaces.

Do I need to break them in?

While Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX shoes are generally comfortable from the start, a short break-in period on shorter walks is recommended to allow the materials to conform to your foot for optimal comfort.

What is the benefit of the OrthoLite® Sockliner?

The OrthoLite® Sockliner provides superior cushioning, moisture management, and breathability, enhancing overall comfort and contributing to a healthier foot environment by inhibiting odor and fungus.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace system feels unevenly tight or loose.

Ensure the laces are fully extended and re-tighten evenly from the bottom up. Pull the toggle firmly to distribute tension across the foot.

Shoes feel less waterproof over time.

Clean the outer material thoroughly and allow to air dry. Consider applying a GORE-TEX safe Durable Water Repellent (DWR) spray to the exterior fabric to reactivate its water-shedding properties.

Feet feel hot or sweaty despite breathability claims.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blends). Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture and can lead to discomfort.

Uncomfortable pressure points or rubbing.

Verify correct sizing. Break in the shoes over shorter periods initially. Ensure socks are smooth and properly adjusted. If discomfort persists, consult a footwear specialist for advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting Up Your Quicklace System

  1. Loosen: Pull the Quicklace toggle away from the shoe and pull the excess lace through to loosen the system.
  2. Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is firmly seated at the back.
  3. Tighten: Pull the Quicklace toggle towards the shoe, drawing the laces tight to achieve a snug, comfortable fit across your foot.
  4. Secure: Tuck the excess lace and the toggle into the lace pocket located on the tongue of the shoe to prevent snagging.

Compatibility

These shoes are primarily designed for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor adventure. Their robust build and versatile appearance also make them suitable for everyday casual wear in urban environments, especially in variable weather conditions.

Care Instructions

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the textile upper and outsole. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  2. Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. GORE-TEX Care: Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or strong detergents as they can damage the GORE-TEX membrane. Occasionally, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for GORE-TEX footwear to maintain water repellency on the outer fabric.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve materials and extend their lifespan.
