FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?
The Salomon XT-6 trainers are not fully waterproof but are designed with quick-drying materials that handle wet conditions and splashes well.
What is the primary intended use for the XT-6?
The XT-6 is primarily designed for trail running, offering stability and grip on technical terrain, but it is also popular for everyday wear due to its comfort and style.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if desired.
What does 'downhill chassis' mean?
The downhill chassis is a technology integrated into the sole that provides enhanced stability and protection specifically when descending steep or technical terrain.
How often should I replace my XT-6 trainers?
This depends on usage frequency and intensity, but generally, trail running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles or when cushioning and support noticeably degrade.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure the laces are tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing them with specialized lacing systems if this is a recurring problem.
Discomfort on long runs
Ensure you have the correct size and consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning or support tailored to your foot.
Traction issues on very wet surfaces
While the lug geometry offers good grip, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. Clean the outsole to ensure optimal contact.
Slight stiffness on first wear
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase mileage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult foot sizes, specifically in UK sizing. They are compatible with various athletic socks. While primarily designed for athletic activities, they can be worn with casual attire.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your XT-6 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
