FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Salomon XT-6 features a synthetic and textile upper designed for breathability and durability. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider using waterproof socks or a shoe designed with a Gore-Tex membrane.

How do I clean the Quicklace™ system?

The Quicklace™ system can be cleaned with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty. Ensure no debris is caught in the lacing mechanism. Avoid soaking the laces.

What kind of activities are these shoes best for?

The Salomon XT-6 is optimally designed for trail running, ultra-distance races, and demanding hiking across varied and challenging terrains. Its robust construction and specialized grip make it suitable for extreme outdoor conditions.

Can I replace the Quicklace™ if it breaks?

Yes, Salomon offers Quicklace™ repair kits. Contact Salomon customer support or an authorized retailer for replacement laces and instructions.

How often should I clean the OrthoLite® insole?

The OrthoLite® insole can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water as needed to maintain freshness. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.

What is the fit like for the XT-6?

The XT-6 is known for a precise and secure fit, thanks to the SensiFit™ Cradle System and Quicklace™. It's designed to hold the foot firmly for stability on uneven terrain. Most users find it true to size, but consider your typical running shoe fit preferences.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace™ feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the Quicklace™ system by pulling the tab for tightening or pressing the release button to loosen. Ensure the lace is evenly distributed across the foot before securing. Experiment with tension to find your optimal comfort and security.

Foot slipping inside the shoe

First, ensure the Quicklace™ is tightened sufficiently. If the issue persists, consider wearing thicker socks. The SensiFit™ system is designed for a snug fit, but proper lacing is crucial for preventing internal movement.

Reduced grip on muddy surfaces

While Mud Contagrip® is optimized for muddy conditions, excessive mud buildup can still reduce grip. Clean the sole regularly during long runs. After use, thoroughly clean the outsole to prevent caked mud from hardening and impacting future performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Salomon XT-6 comes ready to wear. The Quicklace™ system allows for quick and easy tightening. To secure your foot: pull the Quicklace™ tab upwards until the shoe feels snug and comfortable. Tuck the excess lace and the tab into the lace pocket located on the tongue to prevent snagging during activity.

Compatibility

The XT-6 is designed for adults and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including trail running, hiking, and general outdoor adventure where durability, grip, and cushioning are paramount. Its robust design is particularly well-suited for ultra-distance events and challenging terrains. It is compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care

Proper care extends the life of your Salomon XT-6:

  • Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the synthetic and textile upper. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris and the laces for wear. Refer to the product label inside the shoe for any specific care instructions.
