FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon XT-6 Rainy Day trainers are designed with enhanced water resistance to handle damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for protection against light rain and splashes.
How do I clean the Quicklace™ system?
You can clean the Quicklace™ system by rinsing it with water and using a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Ensure it is dry before use.
What is the primary intended use for the XT-6 series?
The XT-6 series originated from trail running and is known for its durability, comfort, and performance on technical and varied terrain. They are also popular for their style in lifestyle settings.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or different insoles if needed for added comfort or support.
What does 'Rainy Day' signify in the product name?
The 'Rainy Day' designation indicates that these specific trainers have been treated or constructed with materials that offer improved performance and protection in wet or damp weather conditions compared to standard versions.
What is the difference between this and other XT-6 models?
While sharing the core XT-6 design, the 'Rainy Day' model likely features specific material treatments or construction for enhanced weather resistance. Other models might focus on different aspects like weight or specific terrain optimization.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten securely
Ensure the Quicklace™ system is properly threaded and the knot mechanism is clean. Check for any debris in the lace channels. Re-adjust by pulling the laces firmly.
Discomfort during wear
Verify you have the correct size. Break in the shoes with shorter wear periods initially. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The grip is optimized for trail and mixed terrain. For very smooth, wet indoor surfaces, caution may be advised. Check for debris lodged in the outsole tread.
Water ingress despite 'Rainy Day' designation
The 'Rainy Day' feature offers enhanced water resistance, not full waterproofing. For prolonged submersion, water may still enter. Ensure all seams and closures are intact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
The Salomon XT-6 Rainy Day trainers are designed as footwear and are compatible with standard UK adult shoe sizes.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent odors or material breakdown.
