FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers suitable for marathon running?
The XT-6 features the AGILE CHASSIS™ SYSTEM for a balance of cushioning and responsiveness, making them comfortable for long distances. However, for dedicated marathon runners seeking maximum cushioning, other specialized marathon shoes might be preferred. They are excellent for endurance trail running and versatile athletic use.
How do I adjust the QUICKLACE™ system for a perfect fit?
Once the shoe is on, pull the lace cord until it feels snug. Use the lace lock to secure the tension. To release, simply pull the lace lock. Experiment with different tension levels to find what is most comfortable for your foot shape and activity.
Can I replace the OrthoLite® insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite® insole is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar thickness to maintain the shoe's fit.
What terrain is the CONTAGRIP® outsole best suited for?
The CONTAGRIP® outsole is designed for versatility, providing excellent grip on a wide variety of surfaces including hard, soft, wet, and dry terrains. This makes it ideal for both technical trails and urban environments.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with cool water to gently remove mud. For tougher dirt, a mild soap can be applied sparingly. Ensure all dirt is removed from the tread and allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the main difference between the XT-6 series and other Salomon shoes?
The XT-6 series is renowned for its specific balance of downhill stability, precise foothold, and robust protection, combined with a distinctive aesthetic. While other Salomon shoes may focus on pure speed, minimalist feel, or maximum waterproofing, the XT-6 is celebrated for its all-around capability and iconic design.
Troubleshooting
QUICKLACE™ system feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the tension by sliding the lace lock. Ensure the excess lace is properly secured in the lace garage. For initial wear, experiment with different tension levels to find your optimal fit.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Check the CONTAGRIP® outsole for wear. Clean any mud or debris from the tread pattern. Ensure you are on an appropriate surface for the shoe's intended use.
Feet feel fatigued after extended wear.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced for adequate support. Consider if the activity level exceeds the shoe's intended cushioning for very long durations. Break in the shoes gradually if they are new.
Water ingress during wet conditions.
While designed for various conditions, these trainers are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or submersion, consider waterproof footwear. Ensure all laces and closures are snug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the QUICKLACE™ system. Once you put the shoes on, pull the laces taut and secure them with the lace lock. Tuck the excess lace into the lace garage on the tongue to prevent it from snagging.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use and are compatible with most standard sock types. They are suitable for a wide range of activities, from trail running and hiking to casual wear and travel.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water to gently remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, a mild soap can be used sparingly. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the outsole and midsole. Ensure no debris is lodged in the tread.
- Insoles: Remove the OrthoLite® insole for separate cleaning if necessary. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely.
- Laces: The QUICKLACE™ system does not require traditional washing. Wipe the cord and lock mechanism clean as needed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
