How durable is the CONTAGRIP® outsole?

Troubleshooting
QUICKLACE™ system feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the tension using the lace lock. For a tighter fit, pull the lock upwards; for a looser fit, push it downwards. Ensure the lace is evenly distributed before locking.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the CONTAGRIP® outsole is clean of mud or debris. If wear is visible, consider replacing the shoes as the grip compound may be degraded.
Foot fatigue during long runs
Verify the fit with the SENSIFIT™ and ENDOFIT™ systems. Ensure the OrthoLite® insole is providing adequate cushioning. Consider using thicker socks or exploring different lacing techniques.
Upper material is dirty or stained
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner may be used sparingly. Always rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the QUICKLACE™ system for a personalized, secure fit. Once laced, the excess lace can be tucked into the lace pocket on the tongue.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult foot sizes (UK 4.5 listed, with other sizes available). They are compatible with various outdoor and urban activities. While they are trainers, they are not specifically designed for extreme sports beyond their intended trail and running capabilities.
Care: To clean the Salomon XT-6 trainers, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and outsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the shoes. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. For the insole, it can be removed and hand-washed gently if needed, then air-dried completely before reinserting.
