FAQs

Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?

The XT-6 trainers are water-resistant due to their durable materials, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle wet conditions, but prolonged submersion or heavy rain may lead to water ingress.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It is recommended to try them on if possible. Check the internal size guide or measure your foot length and compare it to the provided UK sizing. The SensiFit™ system should provide a secure, snug fit without being too tight.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand-wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.

What is the main difference between trainers and hiking shoes in the XT-6 series?

While sharing similar core technologies, XT-6 hiking shoes often feature more robust uppers and specific outsole designs optimized for rougher hiking terrain, whereas the trainers might offer a slightly more flexible feel for running and general use.

How durable is the Quicklace™ system?

The Quicklace™ system is designed for durability and ease of use. However, it's important to avoid yanking the laces excessively and to ensure the lace lock is properly secured to prevent wear.

What kind of socks should I wear with the Salomon XT-6?

We recommend wearing moisture-wicking athletic or hiking socks. These help manage sweat and prevent blisters, complementing the shoe's performance features.

Troubleshooting

Laces loosening during activity

Ensure the Quicklace™ system is fully tightened and the lace lock is securely engaged. Consider double-knotting the lace end if necessary.

Discomfort or rubbing

Verify the fit using the SensiFit™ system. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and that the shoe is properly broken in. Adjust lacing to alleviate pressure points.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Clean the All Terrain Contagrip® outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be impairing grip. Be aware that extreme wet conditions may still present challenges.

Squeaking noises

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or silicone spray to the tongue or where parts rub together.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:
