- Is the XT-6 GTX actually waterproof?
- Yes. It has a Gore-Tex membrane and a closed mesh upper, so rain and splashes stay out. It is not a fully sealed boot, so deep puddles can still get in over the collar.
- How does it fit compared with other Salomon shoes?
- It runs on the narrow side, similar to other S-Lab models. If you have wide feet or wear thick socks, consider going up half a size.
- Is it good for running?
- It can handle light trail runs, but the firm midsole and 10 mm drop suit walking and hiking better than long-distance running.
- How does it compare with the regular XT-6?
- The GTX adds the Gore-Tex membrane and a slightly warmer, less breathable upper. The regular XT-6 is lighter and airier but not waterproof.
- Does it need breaking in?
- Yes. The TPU cage and firm EVA midsole feel stiff at first; most owners report it softens after a week or two of wear.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of shoes with the quick-lace drawstring already fitted. Spare laces are not always included.
