FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers completely waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides high-level waterproof protection against rain and wet surfaces while maintaining moderate breathability.
Can these be used for long-distance hiking?
While durable and supportive, they are categorized as trainers. They are suitable for light hiking and urban exploration, though specialized hiking boots may be preferred for heavy-duty, multi-day backpacking trips.
How should I clean the shoes?
Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to clean exterior surfaces. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical detergents, as these can strip the protective finish and damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
Is the fit the same as other Salomon models?
Salomon fit can vary by series. The XT-6 GTX generally follows standard sizing, but it is recommended to reference the size guide to match your UK size requirements accurately.
Are these shoes suitable for winter?
The water-resistant upper makes them a great option for wet, cool weather. However, they are not specifically insulated for sub-zero temperatures or heavy snow.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or slip during activity
Ensure the lace toggle is fully pressed down and the excess lace is tucked securely into the designated storage pocket on the tongue.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Check that the interior is free of debris and try re-adjusting the tension of the lacing system for a more customized distribution of pressure across the midfoot.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers provide the best experience, start by verifying your size; the unisex fit typically runs true to size, but consider the thickness of socks if you plan to wear them in colder, wet conditions. The Quicklace system allows for easy adjustments on the fly—simply pull the lace tight and slide the toggle down to lock it in place.
For care and longevity:
- Cleaning: After muddy excursions, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Debris Removal: Once dry, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt or grit from the outsoles and upper fabrics.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving the shoes in damp bags or wet environments for extended periods after use to prevent material degradation.
