FAQs

Are the Salomon XT-6 shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the Salomon XT-6 features GORE-TEX waterproof protection, designed to keep your feet dry in various wet conditions.

How does the Quicklace system work?

The Quicklace system is a single, strong lace that tightens with one pull. You simply pull the tab to tighten or press the release button on the lace lock to loosen. Excess lace and the lace lock can be stored in the lace pocket on the tongue.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

Thanks to the All Terrain Contagrip® Outsole and Agile Chassis™ System, these shoes are designed for versatility, performing well on technical trails, soft ground, rocky paths, and urban street surfaces.

How should I clean my Salomon XT-6 shoes?

To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. For more stubborn grime, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, and always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the benefit of the OrthoLite® Sockliner and EnergyCell™ Midsole?

The OrthoLite® Sockliner provides superior cushioning, breathability, and durability, while the EnergyCell™ Midsole offers high-rebound cushioning, together enhancing comfort, shock absorption, and energy return during your activities.

Can I use these shoes for running?

Yes, the Salomon XT-6 is well-suited for trail running, offering the necessary support, grip, and comfort for off-road adventures. They can also be used for light running on urban surfaces.

Are the XT-6 shoes suitable for cold weather?

While the GORE-TEX provides waterproofing, which is beneficial in snowy or wet cold conditions, the XT-6 is not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very low temperatures, additional insulated footwear might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too tight or too loose during wear.

The Quicklace system allows for on-the-fly adjustments. To loosen, press the release button on the lace lock and pull the laces apart. To tighten, simply pull the end tab until the desired snugness is achieved, then secure the lace lock.

Feet feel uncomfortable or fatigued after extended wear.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your activity. The OrthoLite® Sockliner and EnergyCell™ Midsole provide cushioning, but fit is crucial. If discomfort persists, consider checking your shoe size or consulting a footwear specialist to ensure the shoes are right for your foot type and activity.

Shoes are slipping on certain surfaces.

While the All Terrain Contagrip® Outsole offers excellent grip, no shoe is slip-proof on all surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud, debris, or packed snow. Adjust your gait and be mindful of extremely slick or icy conditions.

Shoes feel wet inside after exposure to moisture.

Verify that the GORE-TEX membrane has not been compromised (e.g., from a tear or puncture). Ensure water isn't entering from the top opening (e.g., splashing over the collar in deep puddles) or through prolonged submersion beyond the shoe's height. If the GORE-TEX is damaged, the waterproof integrity may be compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Salomon XT-6 shoes is straightforward:

  1. Open the Quicklace: Pull the tab on the Quicklace system to loosen the laces fully.
  2. Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
  3. Tighten Quicklace: Pull the Quicklace tab upwards until the shoe feels snug and secure. Stow the excess lace and the tab in the lace pocket on the tongue.
  4. Adjust as Needed: During activity, you can quickly adjust the tightness by pulling or releasing the Quicklace as required.

Compatibility

  • Terrain: Ideal for varied terrains, from technical trails to urban streets, gravel paths, and light hiking trails.

  • Activity: Versatile for trail running, hiking, walking, and casual everyday wear.

Care

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.
