FAQs
What kind of activities are these shoes suitable for?
These SALOMON XT-6 'White' sneakers are ideal for everyday wear, casual outings, walking, and light urban activities. Their design prioritizes comfort and style for daily use.
How do I best clean the white leather material?
For routine cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth. For stains or scuffs, use a specialized white leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth, then allow to air dry. Regular protection with a leather spray is also recommended.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather material is not inherently waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture, but for full protection in wet conditions, you would need to apply a suitable waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather footwear.
Are these shoes true to size?
SALOMON XT-6 models typically run true to size, but fit can vary slightly. We recommend referring to the SALOMON sizing chart and considering your usual UK shoe size for adults.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The SALOMON XT-6 'White' sneaker features an upper constructed primarily from leather, providing durability and a premium aesthetic, combined with a breathable construction for comfort.
Can these be used for trail running?
While the XT-6 series has roots in trail running, this specific 'White' leather variant is designed more as a lifestyle sneaker. Its leather material and construction are optimized for everyday comfort and style rather than the rigorous demands of technical trail running.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dull or discolored
Clean the entire shoe surface with a dedicated white leather cleaner. For stubborn discoloration, a specialized leather restorer or dye might be needed, but proceed with caution and test in an inconspicuous area first.
Leather feels stiff or has developed creases
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Wear the shoes regularly to break them in, as natural movement can help soften the leather. Store with shoe trees to maintain shape and minimize creasing.
Shoes are squeaking when walking
A common cause for squeaking in new shoes is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, check if it's coming from the outsole, which might indicate a material issue.
Foot feels too warm despite breathable construction
While the construction is breathable, factors like sock material, ambient temperature, and activity level can impact comfort. Opt for moisture-wicking socks made from natural or performance synthetic fibers. Ensure the shoes are not laced too tightly, restricting airflow.

There is no complex setup required for the SALOMON XT-6 'White' sneakers; simply lace them up and they are ready for wear. They are designed for adult men and women, offering broad compatibility across different foot types within the standard UK sizing. To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather XT-6 sneakers, follow these care instructions: 1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains. 2. Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. 3. Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks or scuffs, use a specialized white leather cleaner or a mild soap solution applied with a soft brush or cloth. Gently rub the affected area. 4. Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather. 5. Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. 6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
