FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Salomon XT-6 features a breathable high-abrasion mesh upper and is not designed to be waterproof. It offers some water resistance but is not intended for submersion.

How do I clean the Quicklace system if it gets dirty?

You can wipe the Quicklace system with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid applying excessive force or harsh chemicals. Ensure it moves freely after cleaning.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?

The XT-6 is optimized for challenging outdoor terrains, including technical trails, muddy paths, loose gravel, and varied surfaces, thanks to its Mud Contagrip outsole and Agile Chassis System.

Can I replace the OrthoLite® Insole?

Yes, the OrthoLite® Insole is removable and can be replaced with new OrthoLite insoles or custom orthotics if desired, ensuring a proper fit.

Is the sizing standard?

Salomon sizing can sometimes vary slightly from other brands. It's recommended to consult Salomon's size chart and consider trying them on, especially if you are between sizes, to ensure the best fit for outdoor performance.

How long do the Quicklaces typically last?

Quicklaces are designed for durability and should last the lifespan of the shoe under normal use. If they do wear out, replacement kits are available.

Are these suitable for running on paved roads?

While they can be used on paved roads for short distances, the Mud Contagrip outsole and robust cushioning are specifically designed for off-road conditions. Extended use on pavement may accelerate wear on the outsole and isn't their primary intended use.

Troubleshooting

Quicklace feels too tight or too loose.

The Quicklace system allows for micro-adjustments. Release the lace lock and re-tighten or loosen evenly, pulling from the top loop first, then securing the excess lace into the lace pocket.

Feet feel hot or sweaty during activity.

Ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. While the high-abrasion mesh upper is breathable, sock choice plays a significant role in foot climate management.

Reduced grip on muddy or slippery surfaces.

Check the Mud Contagrip outsole for excessive mud buildup or embedded debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly. Over time, outsole wear can also reduce grip; assess the tread depth.

Discomfort or rubbing during extended wear.

Verify correct sizing. Ensure socks are seamless and well-fitting. Break in the shoes over shorter distances before attempting long adventures. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a foot specialist.

Persistent odor in shoes.

Remove and wash the OrthoLite® Insole regularly. Allow shoes to fully air dry after each use. Odor-absorbing inserts or sprays can also help.
