FAQs
Is the Salomon XT-6 waterproof?
The Salomon XT-6 features a robust mesh and TPU film upper that offers good protection against light moisture and debris. However, it is not fully waterproof. For extremely wet conditions, a waterproof specific trail shoe would be more suitable.
How do I clean my XT-6 shoes?
To clean your XT-6 shoes, first, remove any loose dirt by shaking or tapping them. Then, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently scrub the upper and outsole. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the Quicklace® System?
The Quicklace® System allows for fast, one-pull tightening and easy release, providing a secure and customizable fit with minimal effort. It eliminates the need for tying knots and prevents laces from coming undone during activity, and also features a convenient lace pocket for storage.
Can I use the XT-6 for road running?
While the XT-6 can be used for short stretches of road, its Contagrip® outsole is specifically designed for optimal traction on varied and uneven trail surfaces. For dedicated road running, a shoe with a smoother, road-specific outsole would typically offer better cushioning and efficiency.
What is the heel drop of the XT-6?
The Salomon XT-6 has a heel drop of 10mm. This measurement refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe, influencing how your foot strikes the ground and your running mechanics.
How do I choose the correct size?
Salomon shoes generally run true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Consider trying them with the type of socks you typically wear. If you are between sizes, it's often advisable to go up a half size, especially for trail running to accommodate foot swelling.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace feels too tight or too loose
To adjust, simply pull the Quicklace toggle to tighten. To loosen, press the button on the toggle and pull the lace loop outwards away from the shoe. Ensure even tension across your foot before securing the toggle in its pocket.
Shoe feels slippery on certain surfaces
Check the Contagrip® outsole for excessive mud, dirt, or debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly with a brush and water. If the outsole appears worn down, especially the lugs, it might be time for a replacement pair as traction can diminish over time.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your activity. Check that the Quicklace system is not overtightened in specific areas. If discomfort persists, consider checking your sizing; feet can swell during activity. Trying different lacing tension or sock thickness can often resolve minor issues.

Setup
Getting started with your Salomon XT-6 is straightforward, primarily focusing on its unique Quicklace® System.
- Donning the Shoes: Slide your foot into the shoe. The integrated OrthoLite® Sockliner is designed for immediate comfort.
- Using Quicklace®: Grasp the Quicklace toggle and pull it upwards firmly to tighten the laces. The laces should feel snug and secure around your foot, without being uncomfortably tight.
- Securing the Toggle: Once tightened, tuck the excess lace and the toggle into the lace pocket located on the tongue of the shoe. This prevents them from snagging on obstacles.
Compatibility
The XT-6 is highly compatible with a range of activities and environments:
- Trail Running: Ideal for various trail types, from technical mountain paths to softer forest floors.
- Hiking & Trekking: Provides excellent support and traction for day hikes and light backpacking.
- Urban & Lifestyle Wear: Its distinct design and comfortable fit make it a popular choice for everyday casual wear and fashion.
- Weather Conditions: Suitable for dry to moderately wet conditions. While the upper offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof.
Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your XT-6 shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy trails, remove loose dirt by tapping the shoes together. Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing.
- Lace Maintenance: Periodically check the Quicklace system for any wear or fraying. Replacement kits are available if needed.
