FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 suitable for wide feet?
The SENSIFIT™ technology and QUICKLACE™ system allow for a customizable fit, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, individuals with exceptionally wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.
Can I wear these for long-distance running?
The XT-6 features advanced cushioning and support, making them suitable for moderate to long-distance runs, especially on varied terrain. For marathon-level or ultra-distance events, consider models specifically designed for extreme endurance.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Salomon. As the fit can be particular, it's best to measure your foot and compare it to the chart. Trying them on in person is the most reliable method.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The XT-6 trainers are not fully waterproof. They are designed with breathable mesh for ventilation, which means they are water-resistant to a degree but not impermeable. They are not intended for submersion in water.
What is the main difference between XT-6 and other Salomon series?
The XT-6 is renowned for its balance of trail performance and modern aesthetics, often featuring unique colorways. Other Salomon series might focus more on specific disciplines like pure trail racing (e.g., S/LAB) or hiking (e.g., X Ultra).
How often should I replace the Ortholite® insole?
The lifespan of an Ortholite® insole depends on usage. Typically, they can last for several hundred miles or a year of regular wear before their cushioning and support properties diminish. You can purchase replacements if needed.
Troubleshooting
QUICKLACE™ system is difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are not tangled. Try loosening the system fully and then re-tightening. Clean any debris around the lace lock.
Foot fatigue after extended wear
Verify the QUICKLACE™ system is not too tight, which can restrict circulation. Ensure the Ortholite® insole is properly seated. Consider the break-in period.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the CONTAGRIP® outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. The tread pattern is designed for versatility, but extreme conditions may still pose challenges.
Upper mesh feels restrictive
Loosen the QUICKLACE™ system slightly. The SENSIFIT™ construction aims for a snug fit; allow for a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot.

Care: To maintain the trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or use a dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
