FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the XT-6 GTX is technically an agile trainer, it is primarily designed for hiking and urban wear. They may feel heavier than dedicated long-distance running shoes.
Are they truly waterproof?
Yes, the Gore-Tex integration is designed to keep water out while remaining breathable, providing protection in wet environments.
How do I determine the right size?
Salomon sizes typically follow standard UK sizing. If you plan to wear thick hiking socks, consider if you prefer a roomier fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the Gore-Tex membrane and the structural adhesives of the shoe.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tightened properly and the tongue is centered; check that the shoe is not damaged or torn.
Shoe feels too stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors or on light walks to allow the materials to flex and contour to your foot shape naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Salomon XT-6 GTX trainers last as long as possible, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Fit: Ensure you are wearing the appropriate performance socks to gauge the correct fit during the break-in phase.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. If they become muddy, hand-wash with mild soap and lukewarm water.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Avoid placing the shoes near heaters, radiators, or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesives and Gore-Tex membrane.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct light to maintain the integrity of the color and material properties.
