FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or hiking?
While the XT-6 series has a trail running heritage, this specific model with leather construction is primarily designed for everyday comfort and casual wear, rather than intense running or rugged hiking. Its design is best suited for urban environments and light leisure activities.
How do I choose the correct size?
The SALOMON XT-6 comes in UK size 11. It is generally considered true to size. For the best fit, it's recommended to consult Salomon's official size chart or, if possible, try them on.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended, especially due to the leather material. This can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall construction of the shoe. Please follow the specific leather care instructions for cleaning.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
This SALOMON XT-6 model features a durable leather construction for its upper, providing a premium feel, enhanced longevity, and a distinct aesthetic.
How breathable are these shoes for daily wear?
The design incorporates features focused on breathability, making them comfortable for extended casual wear in various conditions and helping to keep your feet feeling fresh throughout the day.
Is the white color difficult to maintain?
White footwear generally shows dirt and scuffs more readily than darker colors. However, with regular cleaning using a damp cloth and an optional leather protector spray, maintaining their pristine appearance is manageable.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
SALOMON XT-6 models are generally known for their comfortable and supportive fit, often including cushioned insoles. While specific arch support can vary by individual, they are designed for overall comfort during daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you selected the correct UK size 11. Salomon shoes are generally true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Try adjusting the laces for a customized fit or wearing different sock thicknesses.
Leather appears dull, scuffed, or creased
Clean the leather thoroughly as per care instructions. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner or balm can help restore its appearance. Regular conditioning will also help prevent creasing and maintain the leather's suppleness. For white leather, consider a white leather polish.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe
Remove insoles and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear and avoid storing them in damp environments.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area beneath it, and reapplying it. A thin layer of baby powder sprinkled under the insole can also help reduce friction and eliminate squeaks.
Difficulty keeping white leather clean
Regular maintenance is key. Clean after each wear with a damp cloth. Apply a leather protector spray to repel dirt and liquids. For stubborn marks, use a soft eraser or a specialized white leather cleaner.

Care
The leather construction of your SALOMON XT-6 requires specific attention to maintain its appearance and longevity. Proper care will ensure your sneakers stay looking their best.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe dirt and dust from the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly according to the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the leather.
- Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, as this can dry out, crack, or discolour the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a high-quality leather protector spray. This can help guard against water, stains, and environmental damage, extending the life of your sneakers.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's original shape and absorb moisture.
