FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for performance on varied terrains. They can be worn casually, but their advanced features are best utilized during athletic activities.
How do I replace the Quicklace laces?
Replacement Quicklace systems are available from Salomon or specialized retailers. Follow the instructions provided with the replacement kit, which typically involves threading the new lace through the eyelets and securing it with the toggle.
What is the difference between XT-6 and XT-6 Advanced?
The 'Advanced' designation often signifies specific material updates or refinements in construction aimed at enhanced performance or durability, building upon the original XT-6 platform.
Can I use these for road running?
The Contagrip® outsole provides good traction on roads, but it is primarily designed for off-road grip. For extensive road running, a shoe specifically designed for that surface might offer superior cushioning and efficiency.
What is the benefit of the Ortholite Sockliner?
The Ortholite Sockliner provides long-term cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to overall comfort and foot health during activity.
How do I clean mud off the uppers?
Use a soft brush with cool water and a mild soap to gently scrub the mesh and textile uppers. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system feels too tight or loose
Adjust the toggle by pulling it away from the tongue to loosen, or sliding it towards the toe box to tighten. Ensure the lace ends are evenly distributed before tightening.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the Contagrip® outsole with water and a brush to remove any embedded debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn.
Foot discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the Quicklace system is not overtightened. Check if the Ortholite® sockliner is positioned correctly. Consider if the shoe size is appropriate for your foot width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the Quicklace™ system. Pull the lace ends to tighten until a secure and comfortable fit is achieved. To loosen, pull the toggle away from the tongue. The excess lace can be tucked into the lace garage on the tongue.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for athletic performance and are compatible with various terrains. They are best suited for activities like running, hiking, and fast-packing. While comfortable for all-day wear, their performance features are optimized for active use.
Care: To care for your XT-6 Advanced Trainers, clean them after use with a brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Ensure the insoles are removed and dried separately if they become saturated.
