Salomon XT-6 GTX - White - UK 9

Yes, the Salomon XT-6 GTX features GORE-TEX Waterproof Protection, which ensures that the shoes are waterproof while remaining breathable, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions.

You can clean your shoes by removing loose dirt with a soft brush and wiping the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The Quicklace System is Salomon's minimalist, strong lace for one-pull tightening. It allows for easy on-and-off and provides a secure, customized fit with a simple pull and release mechanism. The excess lace can be tucked into a pocket on the tongue.

Absolutely. With their All Terrain Contagrip® Outsole, Agile Chassis™ System, and GORE-TEX protection, the Salomon XT-6 GTX is well-suited for various hiking trails, offering stability, grip, and comfort on uneven and wet terrains.

The OrthoLite® Sockliner provides superior cushioning, comfort, and breathability. It's designed to be lightweight and durable, enhancing the overall comfort and performance of the shoe during extended wear.

Yes, while designed for performance, the Salomon XT-6 GTX is also very comfortable and durable for everyday casual wear. Its unique aesthetic can add a sporty and modern touch to your daily outfits.

The EnergyCell™ Midsole is a high-rebound midsole compound that provides exceptional energy return, cushioning, and durability. It helps absorb shock and delivers a springy feel, contributing to comfort and reducing fatigue during activities.

Ensure the shoe's GORE-TEX membrane has not been punctured or compromised by sharp objects. Check if water is entering from the top (e.g., over the collar in deep puddles). Consider re-treating the outer fabric with a durable water repellent (DWR) spray, as the GORE-TEX membrane itself is waterproof, but the outer fabric can become saturated.

Adjust the Quicklace system. To tighten, pull the cord firmly upwards until the desired snugness is achieved. To loosen, press the small button on the Quicklace mechanism and pull the tongue of the shoe forward. Ensure the buckle is securely stowed in the lace pocket to avoid accidental loosening or snagging.

Clean the All Terrain Contagrip® outsole thoroughly, as mud, debris, or small stones can reduce traction. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear, which might indicate it's time for a replacement. On extremely slippery surfaces like ice, even the best outsoles have limitations.

While the OrthoLite® Sockliner provides comfort, ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing different types of socks to see if it improves comfort. If new, allow a short break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet. If discomfort persists, consult a footwear specialist.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the inside of the shoe. Try removing the OrthoLite® Sockliner, cleaning the area underneath, and then reinserting it. A thin layer of baby powder or fabric softener sheet underneath the insole can sometimes alleviate the noise.
