FAQs

Are the Salomon XT-6 GTX shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, these shoes feature a GORE-TEX ePE membrane, which provides reliable and durable waterproof protection, ensuring your feet stay dry in wet conditions.

How do I properly clean my XT-6 GTX shoes?

Brush off loose dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What is the benefit of the Quicklace™ system?

The Quicklace™ system allows for fast, single-pull tightening and loosening, providing a quick, secure, and customizable fit with minimal effort. There's also a pocket to stow away the excess lace.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear in the city?

Absolutely. While rooted in trail running, their durable construction, waterproof features, and comfortable cushioning make them highly suitable for urban environments, especially in varying weather conditions.

What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

Thanks to the Mud Contagrip outsole and Agile Chassis System, they are designed for varied and challenging terrains, including trails, uneven natural paths, and rough city conditions, offering superior grip and stability.

How do I maintain the waterproof integrity of the shoes?

The GORE-TEX membrane provides lasting waterproofness. You can maintain the water repellency of the outer fabric by periodically applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment spray designed for footwear, following the product's instructions.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too loose or too tight with the Quicklace system.

To adjust, pull the lace tab firmly to tighten, or lift the toggle slightly to loosen the lace. Ensure the tension is even across your foot for optimal comfort and security. Always tuck excess lace into the lace pocket.

Feet feel warm or sweaty despite GORE-TEX's breathability.

While GORE-TEX is breathable, it is a waterproof membrane and may reduce airflow compared to non-waterproof shoes. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks to help manage sweat and keep your feet comfortable.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes or if debris is caught under the insole. First, remove and reinsert the OrthoLite® insole to ensure it is seated correctly. If the issue persists, ensure the outsole is clean and free of embedded debris.

Reduced grip on certain surfaces.

Check the Mud Contagrip outsole for any embedded mud, small stones, or debris that might be impacting its performance. Clean the lugs thoroughly. Performance on extremely wet or icy surfaces will always be limited, so adapt your stride and awareness to the conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Waterproofing: GORE-TEX membrane reliably keeps feet dry in rain, snow, and wet conditions.
  • Superior Durability: Built with robust materials and construction for long-lasting performance in tough environments.
  • Excellent Grip and Stability: Mud Contagrip and Agile Chassis System ensure secure footing on various challenging terrains.
  • All-Day Comfort: Durable EVA cushioning and OrthoLite insole provide substantial shock absorption and comfort.
  • Quick & Secure Fit: The Quicklace system offers fast and precise adjustments.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for trail running, hiking, urban exploration, and everyday wear.

Cons

  • Specialized Lacing System: The Quicklace system may require a slight adjustment period for users accustomed to traditional laces.
  • Robust Feel: The shoe's protective and durable build might feel more substantial and less flexible than a standard lightweight sneaker.
  • Technical Aesthetic: Its performance-oriented design, while popular, might not align with all fashion preferences for casual wear.
  • Breathability in Extreme Heat: While breathable, the GORE-TEX membrane and closed mesh might retain more warmth than non-waterproof shoes in very hot and dry climates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup and care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Salomon XT-6 GTX shoes.

Setup & First Use

  1. Quicklace Adjustment: Unpack the shoes and fully loosen the Quicklace system. Slide your foot in and pull the lace tab upwards to tighten until secure but comfortable. Push the toggle down to lock the laces. Tuck any excess lace into the lace pocket located on the tongue of the shoe.
  2. Initial Wear: We recommend wearing your XT-6 GTX shoes indoors for a few hours to ensure the fit is comfortable and to allow the materials to slightly adapt to your foot shape before extended outdoor use.

Compatibility

  • Activity: Designed for a wide range of activities including trail running, light hiking, urban walking, and casual wear. Its robust construction is suited for challenging conditions.
  • Apparel: Pairs well with technical outdoor apparel for performance activities, and equally with casual streetwear for a modern, functional look.
  • Terrain: Highly compatible with various terrains, from rocky trails and muddy paths to concrete and urban pavements.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For more stubborn dirt, wipe the entire shoe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (avoid harsh detergents). Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Remove insoles if they are wet to facilitate faster drying. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and other materials, leading to cracking or delamination.
  • Storage: Store your XT-6 GTX in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing for extended periods to prevent mildew or material degradation.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is inherently waterproof. While the outer fabric may eventually wet out (absorb water), the membrane beneath will continue to keep your feet dry. You can restore the durable water repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric using a suitable DWR treatment spray, following the product's instructions.
