FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Salomon XT-6 features a streamlined silhouette wrapped in a mix of breathable mesh and durable TPU film, designed to handle daily challenges. While it's built to resist elements, the description does not explicitly state it is fully waterproof, rather it mentions it is suitable for tackling 'daily challenges' and previously designed for 'extreme conditions' which implies good weather resistance.

How do I clean my Salomon XT-6 sneakers?

For general cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning of the synthetic and textile upper, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing to preserve material integrity. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct heat.

Is the Quicklace™ system durable?

Yes, the Quicklace™ system is designed to be highly durable and robust, capable of withstanding the rigors of ultra-distance running and daily wear. It's made from strong fibers and is a proven feature in Salomon's performance footwear.

Can I replace the OrthoLite® insole?

Yes, the OrthoLite® insole is typically removable, allowing you to replace it with a new OrthoLite® insole or a custom orthotic if desired. Ensure any replacement insole is of similar thickness to maintain the shoe's intended fit and support.

Are these shoes suitable for running on roads?

While the XT-6 is primarily designed for trails and challenging terrains, its excellent EVA cushioning provides comfort that can also accommodate occasional road running. However, for exclusive road running, a shoe specifically designed for road surfaces might offer a different type of optimized cushioning and tread pattern.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too loose or too tight during wear

Adjust the Quicklace™ system by pulling the lace firmly to tighten, or by pressing the toggle and pulling the excess lace forward to loosen. Ensure the lace is evenly distributed across the foot before securing.

Reduced grip on wet or muddy surfaces

After prolonged use in challenging conditions, check the outsole lugs for embedded debris like small stones or mud. Clean the Mud Contagrip® outsole thoroughly using a brush and water to restore optimal traction. Ensure the shoe is completely dry before next use.
