FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Salomon XT-6 series?

The main advantage is its blend of trail-ready performance, including exceptional grip and stability, with a stylish aesthetic suitable for urban wear.

How do I clean the trainers?

Clean the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap solution if necessary. Air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat.

Is the QUICKLACE™ system secure enough for intense activities?

Yes, the QUICKLACE™ system is designed for secure and quick adjustments, providing a reliable fit for intense activities like trail running.

What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?

They are highly versatile and perform exceptionally well on rocky trails, muddy paths, and also provide comfort and style for urban environments.

Can I replace the OrthoLite® insole?

Yes, the OrthoLite® insole is removable and can be replaced with a preferred aftermarket insole if desired.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers feature a breathable mesh and TPU upper, prioritizing ventilation and quick drying over full waterproofing.

What does SENSIFIT™ technology do?

SENSIFIT™ technology ensures a precise foot wrap, enhancing stability and comfort by securing the foot within the shoe.

Troubleshooting

QUICKLACE™ system is difficult to adjust

Ensure the laces are not tangled. If they are stiff, try gently working the toggle back and forth. Check the lace garage for debris.

Foot discomfort or rubbing

Adjust the QUICKLACE™ system for a more personalized fit. Ensure the ENDOFIT™ System is providing adequate midfoot support. Consider the thickness of your socks.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While CONTAGRIP® offers excellent traction, performance can be affected by extreme conditions. Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be reducing contact.

Upper material feels too breathable for cold weather

Consider wearing warmer socks or using an insulating insole for added warmth during colder conditions.

  • Secure and comfortable fit with precise adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The QUICKLACE™ system is designed for immediate use. To adjust, pull the lace toggle upwards to tighten and press the release button to loosen. Ensure the laces are tucked into the lace garage on the tongue to prevent snagging.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for a wide range of activities. While optimized for trail and outdoor use, they are also compatible with urban environments. They are suitable for adults seeking performance footwear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the mesh and TPU. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  3. Insoles: The OrthoLite® insole can typically be removed for airing out or gentle hand washing with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
