FAQs
Is the Salomon XT-6 waterproof?
While the materials are designed to handle severe weather, the standard XT-6 is not explicitly advertised as fully waterproof. It is best suited for water-resistant performance.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, the XT-6 is versatile enough for both road and light trail usage due to its supportive cushioning.
How should the shoe fit?
The shoe should feel snug around the midfoot and heel, with about a thumb's width of space in the toe box to allow for natural foot swelling during runs.
Does the shoe require a break-in period?
Due to the supportive chassis, we recommend wearing the shoes for shorter walks or light jogs to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape before tackling long distances.
Are these unisex or gender-specific?
Salomon offers the XT-6 in both gender-specific and unisex variations. Please check the specific product attributes for your desired size.
Troubleshooting
Quick-lace system feels too loose after several miles
Ensure the lace lock is pushed firmly down against the tongue and tuck the excess lace neatly into the dedicated storage pocket.
Build-up of mud affecting outsole grip
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear out the lug patterns on the sole once the mud has dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Salomon XT-6, adjust the quick-lace system for a snug but comfortable fit across the midfoot before beginning your run. Avoid overtightening the laces to maintain proper circulation. Compatibility is best with standard performance socks; avoid overly thick wool socks which may alter the intended fit. For care, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after muddy runs to prevent debris from degrading the upper materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can compromise the cushioning and the integrity of the chassis. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
