FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-6 trainers waterproof?
The standard Salomon XT-6 trainers are water-resistant due to their construction but are not fully waterproof. For enhanced waterproofing, Salomon offers XT-6 GTX versions that feature a Gore-Tex membrane.
How do I determine the correct size?
The product information specifies a UK size 9. It is recommended to consult Salomon's official sizing chart for accurate foot measurement and conversion to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary between brands and models.
Can these shoes be used for everyday wear?
Yes, the Salomon XT-6 has gained popularity as a lifestyle shoe due to its comfort, support, and distinctive style. They are well-suited for daily wear, walking, and casual activities.
How often should I replace my XT-6 trainers?
The lifespan of trail running shoes varies based on usage intensity, terrain, and individual running style. For regular trail runners, replacing them every 300-500 miles is a common guideline. For casual use, they can last significantly longer.
What is the benefit of the Quicklace™ system?
The Quicklace™ system allows for rapid and secure tightening or loosening of the shoe with a single pull, eliminating the need for traditional knots and making adjustments quick and easy, especially with gloves on or during activity.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The XT-6 generally offers a standard fit. While the Quicklace™ system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or checking reviews specifically addressing width is advisable.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tight
Ensure the excess lace is properly tucked into the lace pocket on the tongue. Check that the lace lock mechanism is clean and functioning correctly. If the lace itself is worn, consider replacing the Quicklace™ system.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for grip, extreme conditions can be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. For very slick surfaces, consider using a trail running shoe with a more aggressive lug pattern or a specific wet-traction compound.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try adjusting the Quicklace™ system for a more customized fit. If discomfort persists, the shoes may require a short break-in period, or they may not be the ideal fit for your foot shape.
Mud build-up in treads
Use a stiff brush or a pointed tool (like a twig or the end of a key) to carefully dislodge mud from the deep treads after use. Rinse with water if necessary and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Salomon XT-6 features a Quicklace™ system. To use, simply pull the laces tight and tuck the excess lace into the pocket on the tongue. To loosen, pull the tab on the lace lock.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for running and outdoor activities. They are compatible with standard sock types. The UK size 9 designation ensures a fit for individuals with that specific foot measurement.
Care: To maintain the condition of your XT-6 trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to warp or degrade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage.
- Laces: Inspect the Quicklace™ system periodically for wear and tear. Replacement laces are available from Salomon or specialized retailers.
