FAQs

Are the Salomon XT-6 Low Shoes suitable for wide feet?

The SENSIFIT™ and ENDOFIT™ systems offer a secure fit, but the shoe's width is comparable to standard athletic footwear. If you have very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or check detailed sizing guides.

Can I replace the OrthoLite® insole?

Yes, the OrthoLite® insole can typically be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or other insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar size and profile.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The XT-6 Low Shoes are water-resistant due to their materials but are not fully waterproof. They are designed for breathability, which means water can penetrate in very wet conditions.

What is the main difference between Low Shoes and Trainers in the XT-6 series?

The primary difference is the cut. 'Low Shoes' are cut lower around the ankle, offering more freedom of movement. 'Trainers' might refer to variations with different upper constructions or slightly different features, but the core XT-6 technology remains consistent.

How durable is the CONTAGRIP® outsole?

CONTAGRIP® is known for its durability and high wear resistance, designed to provide reliable traction over an extended period of use on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

QUICKLACE™ system is difficult to tighten or loosen

Ensure the lace is clean and free from dirt or debris. Check that the lace is properly threaded through the eyelets and that the lock mechanism is functioning correctly.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While CONTAGRIP® offers excellent traction, extremely slick surfaces may still present challenges. Ensure the outsole is clean; accumulated mud or debris can reduce grip.

Discomfort after initial wear

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the QUICKLACE™ system is adjusted for a comfortable, not overly tight, fit.

Mesh material appears dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid aggressive scrubbing which could damage the material.
