FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the XT-6 is known for its stylish design and comfort, making it suitable for casual wear in addition to its intended use for hiking and trail running.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Salomon or the retailer. It's generally recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Given the snug fit, some prefer to size up if between sizes.
Can I replace the Quicklace™ system if it breaks?
Yes, replacement Quicklace™ kits are available from Salomon and other outdoor retailers. Installation typically involves threading the new lace through the system.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please consult the documentation that came with your purchase or contact the retailer for specific warranty details.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Salomon XT-6 offers water resistance due to its materials and construction, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle splashes and light rain, but prolonged immersion in water may lead to ingress.
What kind of socks are best to wear with the XT-6?
Hiking or athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials like merino wool or synthetic blends are recommended. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture and can lead to blisters.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't tighten or loosen properly
Ensure the Quicklace™ toggle is clean and free of debris. If the lace is frayed or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
The shoes may require a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter walks to gradually adapt. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that might be impeding grip. For persistent issues on very slick surfaces, consider the conditions and terrain.
Slight water ingress during heavy rain
The XT-6 is designed for water resistance, not full waterproofing. For very wet conditions, consider using waterproof socks or looking into more specialized waterproof footwear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a well-ventilated area to prevent odor buildup.
