How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

What is the benefit of the QUICKLACE™ system?

Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite® insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or other insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar size and shape.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Salomon XT-6 trainers feature a breathable mesh and TPU upper, which prioritizes ventilation. They are not fully waterproof but offer some resistance to light moisture. For heavy rain or wet conditions, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What kind of terrains is the CONTAGRIP® outsole best for?
The CONTAGRIP® outsole is designed for excellent grip on a wide variety of terrains, including hard, soft, wet, and dry surfaces, making it suitable for trails, rocks, and even pavement.
How does the AGILE CHASSIS™ SYSTEM improve performance?

Troubleshooting
QUICKLACE™ system is difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the lace is clean and free of debris. Check that the toggle is functioning correctly. If the lace is frayed, it may need replacement.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the QUICKLACE™ tension more evenly. Ensure the SENSIFIT™ system is not too constricting. Consider trying different sock thicknesses. Ensure the correct size is being used.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Clean the CONTAGRIP® outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be filling the tread pattern. Note that even aggressive treads can have reduced grip on extremely slick surfaces.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. Clean gently as per care instructions. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.
