FAQs
How do I determine my correct size for Salomon XT-6 'Triple Black'?
These shoes are listed in UK adult sizing. It's recommended to consult a Salomon sizing chart and measure your foot length. If you are typically a UK 12, this size should fit, but always refer to the official size guide if unsure.
Are these shoes suitable for running or hiking?
While the XT-6 series has a trail running heritage, this 'Triple Black' leather variant is described as a 'stylish and durable addition to your sneaker collection,' emphasizing its aesthetic and wear-resistant qualities for casual, urban, and lifestyle use rather than high-performance athletic activities.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
For cleaning, wipe off dirt as needed, ideally after each use if they get dirty. For conditioning, apply a quality leather conditioner every 1-3 months, depending on how frequently you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to, to keep the leather supple.
Are the Salomon XT-6 'Triple Black' water-resistant?
The leather material offers some natural resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof unless specifically treated. We recommend using a leather protector spray to enhance their water and stain resistance.
What is the best way to store these sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help them retain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creasing and odors.
Is there a break-in period for these leather sneakers?
Leather shoes often have a slight break-in period where the material conforms to your foot. While the XT-6 is designed for comfort, expect a few wears before the leather fully softens and molds to your unique foot shape.
Troubleshooting
My leather sneakers are squeaking when I walk.
Squeaking often comes from friction. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction between components. If the squeak is from the outsole, it may resolve with more wear.
The leather is showing creases or small cracks.
Creasing is natural with leather, but excessive cracking indicates dryness. Apply a quality leather conditioner regularly to moisturize the leather. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat.
The shoes have an unpleasant odor.
Ensure your shoes air out properly after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to let them dry. You can use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.
I accidentally got my leather shoes wet.
Immediately wipe off excess water with a clean cloth. Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
The black color seems to be fading slightly.
Over time and with exposure to elements, colors can sometimes fade. For leather, consider using a black leather dye or renovator specifically designed for footwear to restore the color, following product instructions carefully.

Care:
Given the leather material, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and extend the life of your XT-6 'Triple Black' sneakers.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner according to the product's instructions.
