FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane designed to provide complete waterproofing while remaining functional.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While built on a trail-tested platform, they are primarily designed for versatility and everyday performance rather than pure long-distance road running.
How do I clean the Gore-Tex membrane?
Gently wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or put them in a washing machine as this can damage the waterproof coating.
Are these shoes suitable for summer?
The Gore-Tex lining makes them warmer than non-waterproof trainers; they are best suited for cool, wet, or moderate climates.
Is the sizing consistent with other Salomon models?
Salomon generally follows standard sizing, but because of the technical upper, some users prefer a half-size larger if they plan to wear thick hiking socks.
Troubleshooting
Water penetration during heavy rainfall
Ensure the lace-locking system is fully tightened and the tongue is properly centered to prevent water ingress from the top.
Discomfort or 'hot spots' during first use
The XT-6 has a firm structure; wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape before extended wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your XT-6 GTX trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have selected your correct UK size; the XT-6 has a precise, performance-oriented fit.
- Care: After muddy hikes or exposure to rain, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the membrane.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using abrasive brushes that could scuff the upper material.
- Maintenance: Check the laces and eyelets periodically to ensure no debris is trapped, which maintains the shoe's closure system integrity.
