Proper care will extend the life and performance of your XT-6 shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially if dirty, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or put them in a washing machine.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing.
Lace Maintenance: Periodically check the Quicklace system for any signs of wear. If necessary, follow Salomon's guidelines for replacing Quicklace kits.
