FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?
Yes, while designed for performance, their comfort and durable construction make them suitable for everyday casual wear, especially for those who are active.
How do I adjust the Quicklace™ system?
Simply pull the laces tight for a secure fit. To loosen, lift the toggle and pull the laces away from the shoe.
What is the primary advantage of the XT-6 series?
The XT-6 series is known for its balance of aggressive traction, durable cushioning, and a secure, precise fit, making it ideal for challenging terrains.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap.
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
They are best suited for trail running, hiking, and mixed-terrain use, offering excellent grip on hard surfaces, mud, and rocks.
How does the sizing compare to other brands?
Salomon sizing is generally considered true to size. However, it's always recommended to check specific sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible.
What is the purpose of the ACS (Agile Chassis System)?
The ACS provides a stable platform underfoot, enhancing shock absorption and improving energy return while maintaining a natural foot motion.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen properly
Check that the Quicklace™ mechanism is clean and free of debris. Ensure the lace is correctly threaded through the mechanism. If damaged, contact customer support.
Discomfort or rubbing on the heel/toe
Ensure the correct size is being worn and that the SensiFit™ system is properly adjusted. Try wearing different types of athletic socks. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before longer runs.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While Contagrip® MA offers excellent grip, performance can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris. Be aware of extremely slippery surfaces where no outsole can guarantee perfect traction.
Material seems stiff initially
The robust materials may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they become more comfortable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no initial setup beyond ensuring the correct fit. The Quicklace™ system is designed for immediate use; pull the lace to tighten and unlace by pulling the toggle. Ensure the lace is tucked into the lace garage to prevent it from snagging.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear, unisex. Designed for trail running, hiking, and general athletic activities. They are compatible with various athletic socks.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush and cool water to gently remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, a mild soap can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Cleaning the Outsole: A damp cloth can be used to wipe down the outsole. Ensure no debris is lodged in the lugs.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
